How do you build an 8 foot Trex fence?
Trex Fencing is specifically designed to build to any height up to 12 feet tall, so building an 8-foot fence is possible. The standard lengths of the Trex material make it even easier to install the fence at 6 foot and 8 foot tall without cutting the pickets and posts. If they do need to be cut, the posts, rails, and pickets are extruded composite lumber components and can be cut like wood. To build an 8-foot tall fence, set posts to the proper depth in concrete to ensure they can support the fence and keep it from getting displaced in the wind. The minimum depth for an 8-foot tall fence is 36", although it is highly recommended that you check local building codes, soil conditions, and local installation practices to verify the proper depth. For example, if your frostline is lower than 36", you will need to set your posts deeper to ensure your footer does not get displaced. Once the posts are set, your rails and pickets can be installed per the installation guides using the brackets and fasteners provided by FDS Fence Distributors, the source for Trex Fencing.
