Mmm. It could be encouraging, but it could also be the difference
between a good oak fence and a lower grade wooden fence. No offence to
your fence, Emery. Do you know what your fence is made of?

Well, Sacha's fence is probably oak, but mine certainly isn't. It's
autoclaved pine (or maybe douglas) from a local company; good enough as
it goes, I'm told in the local conditions the posts should last 50 years,
and after 20 there's no sign of rot on them. The rails are another story
though, I've already replaced a few, some have rotted around the nail,
most are still in good shape.
