A Reinforced
Board on Board
Redwood Fence
Built for the Bay Area

Feature	Traditional 4" × 4" Wood Post	Hidden Round Steel Post
Post Material	Wood is strong, but it is an organic material that can absorb moisture, split, warp or decay over time.	Steel provides a rigid structural core and does not rot, split or warp like a wood post.
Long-Term Stability	Performance can change as the post ages and is repeatedly exposed to moisture and changing weather.	Consistent steel construction helps the post remain straight and structurally stable over the life of the fence.
Finished Appearance	The structural wood post remains visible as part of the fence.	The steel post is concealed inside the wood assembly, preserving the premium all-redwood appearance.

Wet Set vs. Dry Set Concrete: Why We Choose the More Controlled Process

Feature	Wet Set Concrete	Dry Set / No-Mix Method
Water & Mix Control	Water is measured and the concrete is mixed before placement, allowing our crew to see and adjust the consistency of each batch.	Dry mix is placed in the hole and then saturated with water. This is an approved method for products specifically designed for no-mix post setting when the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
Installation Time	Takes more labor because every batch is mixed before it goes into the post hole.	Faster and requires less mixing labor, which is one reason it is commonly used for post-setting applications.
Why We Use It	We prefer the added process control: the mix can be visually checked before it surrounds the post.	A valid installation method for compatible products, but the mix hydrates in the hole rather than being fully mixed beforehand.

Both methods can be appropriate when the concrete product is used according to its manufacturer’s instructions. Hermanos Fence uses wet-set concrete on this premium package because we prefer mixing and checking the batch before placement.

Is Hermanos Fence a fence contractor or fence company?

Both terms describe the work we provide. Hermanos Fence is a Bay Area fence contractor and fence company specializing in residential redwood and wood fence installation, including reinforced Board on Board fencing with hidden steel posts.

What makes this a premium or reinforced fence?

The package uses concealed steel posts, wet-set concrete and a Board on Board redwood finish so the structural reinforcement stays hidden behind the wood appearance.
