FENCING
As a horse owner, it’s important to keep your livestock safe and accounted for at all times. Many fences produce jagged, cracked edges that will inevitably harm your horse or other farm animals. We are the only company that can produce high-quality animal fencing that fuses the strength of our lumber with the sustainability of polymer. We can help you develop a horse fence that will keep your horses safe for years without having to commit to regular maintenance. WoodGuard has a 20-year warranty that offers full replacements on supplies that crack, fade, peel, or split, so you can feel confident.

Why WoodGuard?
WoodGuard products are protected from the harsh effects of the environment and are non-toxic. What you build will have lasting power beyond wood’s usual capability. You don’t need any special tools to nail, saw, or customize your horse fencing or playground designs.
Technology
WoodGuard is patented and manufactured with a unique process that resists the wear and tear of mother nature. A polymer exterior coats a solid wood core to give you an incredibly durable product.
How does Woodguard polymer-coated lumber rate against hollow PVC or vinyl fencing?
Hollow PVC loses its strength each year it is exposed to the elements. Conventional warranties only cover the appearance of the fence, not the strength. In cold weather and over time, PVC becomes brittle and weakens. PVC cannot be mechanically fastened to the posts due to the expansion and contraction of PVC in the hot and cold temperatures. The strength of a fence is in the attachment of the rail to the posts. WoodGuard is much easier to install because it saws and nails just like conventional lumber. WoodGuard is a perfect alternative to vinyl fencing and hollow PVC fencing.
Can I become a Woodguard dealer?
We work closely with our dealers to provide outstanding building materials throughout the nation. If you would like to become a dealer, fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
Are using nails, screws, or bolts into the polymer coating harmful?
Our plastic seals around all fasteners and our non-toxic borate treatment protects the wood. You should never let the head of the fastener penetrate under the coating as this will void the warranty. Make sure the head of the fastener is secured tightly with a washer against the coating for a successful installation.
How does your polymer-coated lumber hold up in cold/freezing temperatures?
Our WoodGuard polymer-coated lumber has been tested in freezing temperatures for long periods of time, and have found that the integrity of the product is not affected at all. This is due to the special polymer coating, which is made with Ultratech ultraviolet light blockers.
Does WoodGuard offer installation?
WoodGuard does not offer any installation of our products. Some of our dealer/contractors and distributors do offer installation.
Can I receive a sample of a WoodGuard product?
Yes, you can contact our sales department using our contact us page about obtaining a sample.
Did WoodGuard move its production facility?
Yes, WoodGuard was acquired in late 2018 and is now part of Woodgrain: a wood building materials manufacturer and distributor with over 65 years of business. Production is now being made in Albany, Georgia for all WoodGuard and EcoForm products.
What is maintenance on WoodGuard products like?
WoodGuard is engineered in a way that doesn’t need much maintenance at all. You don’t need to paint, sand, or stain any of our products. The polymer coating is UVA/UVB protected to ensure long-lasting color and bond.
