Customer Reviews for Alta Forest Products 3/4 in. x 6 in. x 8 ft. Alta Premium Treated Dog-Ear Fence Picket

These work great as intended. Professional rough sawn fence look and seem to be holding their color well, but will need to ignore this review if you need to look into long term weathering. The color doesn't match home depot's cedar tone pressure treating in our area, but it is cedar looking so I think after a year it will all look great. We intend to have to stain every other year anyhow, so happy with them. Only 9 or 10 in 340 were not acceptable to use.

I bought these to build two planter boxes to put in front of my home to replace the shrubbery I'm constantly pulling Centipede grass runners, and other nuisances, out of. I built the frame from PT 2x4s then planed down on side of the pickets and then built the boxes, approximately 2ft x 7.5ft x 18in. I then used the Shou Sugi Ban technique of charring the outside of the wood, brushing it down and then sealing it with a few coats of spar urethane. Now to decide what to put in them... PS... Disregard the Ryobi drill and Husky toolbox, just because I also got them at Home Depot...

These are thicker than regular pine fence pickets and look much better. The color is nice and I’ve sealed them directly after installation. After a few days of hot/dry weather, they begin to dry out and now creating large cracks between the pickets. Reguardless, they look nice and I’m pleased with my project.

The lumber was straight and uniform . There were not many knots or cracks. Good and uniform in size Overall very pleased with the product

These are very consistently sized and good quality.

Nice pickett. Like the thickness.

Like this wider picket

Quality boards looks great

The Alta Forrest 8’ pickets were very good with only a small amount of imperfections. They were good and straight and they all looked good. I would give them five stars if the price was lower.

These are 12 yr pickets at best! Made out of Douglas Fir. HD doesn’t even list the type of wood it is. I have to admit they fooled me. I’m not a pro and thought these were cedar. Didn’t notice until I looked at the product sign at the store. Half my fence was up so too late now. Cedar last 20 yrs + and that’s what I wanted. From other reviews looks like these will shrink way more leaving gaps. These are thicker but way less superior than cedar. Go to product website.

The pickets are light weight and easy to work with, but after less than 6 months the knot holes are falling out. I’m afraid my fence will look like Swiss cheese before the summer ends.

Perfectly acceptable lumber for my exterior project.

Appreciated that there were 8 ft pickets available. A little sanding and these worked out perfectly for building a closet.

Seams to be a premium quality fence board

Shrinks really bad after installed.
