Does lumber have normal and expectable features?
There are three main natural characteristics of wood you may notice:
  • Checking:  This is a small crack that can occur in the boards, rails or post, and is not to be considered defective.
  • Shrinking:  All wood can be expected to shrink, most common fence boards may shrink as much as 1/2 inch each.  Shrinking is not defective.
  • Warpage:  This is a natural process of wood.  It is impossible to foretell which piece of lumber may warp.  Warpage is not defective.
