I build fences for this company and was just wondering if these pickets could be dated. Thought they seemed kind of young?

    10>15 years.

    they’ll split as soon as they get wet and dry out. Just worked with some just like then.

    Fast growing pine. shite

    Out of curiosity, how old did you think fence picket lumber would be?

    Goddam look at the size of those rings.

    Commercial grow cycle for pine is like 15-20ish.

    The trees these came from are MAYBE 25-30 years old. Usually what’s left over after they get something off the outside, or that was their designated intention from the start.

    There’s also the chance these were cut from logs that were near the top of larger trees too. But, it’s so hard to say for sure.

    Would it help if the fence is painted (or opaque wood stain, if opaque stain is not what you would call paint)

    There’s no more old growth timber being used for this purpose. All pine lumber now is about 15-20 years old.

    Too old. Should’ve been cutdown long ago.
