Specifications for rails are as follows: Blue Ridge Parkway - Historic Fence Repair Projects 1) Appearance and Character: Fence rails for this project will be used to repair and construct fences along the Blue Ridge Parkway using the traditional "stacked rail" method once common in the Southern Appalachian region. Rails shall be split uniformly along entire length of rail.

Sawn rails are not acceptable. 3) Quality: Rails shall be free of defects such as large knots or decay that would cause structural weakness. Rails shall generally be straight; however a slight bow or warp is acceptable in a small percentage of rails. Rails with excessive bow or warp greater than 3" in length of rail are not acceptable. 4) Wood Protection: Rails shall be pressure treated with a non-carcinogen preservative such as ACQ (Alkaline Copper Quaternary) or equal at a level (typically .25 p/cf) that will provide effective 30-year above-ground protection from wood destroying insects, decay and rot. Rails shall be stamped or tagged to indicate the type and level of treatment used. 5) Wood Species: Rails of this type and character will typically be made of straight-grained yellow poplar, however rails of other wood species will be considered if overall strength, appearance, and dimensions as specified can be achieved. 6) Shipping: Rails shall be banded in small bundles of approximately 50 rails each to facilitate loading, unloading, transporting, handling, and storage.
