In Reply to: Boards for board fence posted by Doug in the Hoosier state on August 16, 2007 at 14:33:28:
In my experience, if you are building the fence to hold cattle or fence off fields, use oak. If the boards are going to be up in your face, like fencing the yard around the house, use poplar. Oak gets real grainey when it dries and horses like to gnaw on it when their diet lacks certain minerals. Oak will have a tendency to warp and twist slightly over time, where poplar will not. I have noticed that oak will get so hard over time that you have to drill a pilot to get a nail into it. If I am not mistaken, poplar is slightly less expensive that oak. We get 1"X6"X16' oak boards here for $5 each.
