A pet project designed to keep old fence boards from going to the landfill has grown into an extensive recycling operation and a gorgeous new paneling line called Good Neighbor—’good fences make good neighbors’.
Available in Weathered Redwood, Fresh-Sawn Redwood and Multi-Toned varieties, Good Neighbor paneling is lightweight and easy to work with.
Good Neighbor Weathered Redwood has been exposed to years of sun, rain and snow to create a patina that is unmistakable and genuine. The wind-worn color palette emphasizes charcoal and brown tones. It can also come as gorgeous fresh sawn redwood with just a hint of character from its prior life as a fence board. Either face can be used exclusively or mixed and matched to create unique looks.
Good Neighbor Multi-Toned embraces the variability of backyard fence boards. It contains a broad spectrum of reds, charcoals, grays, browns and moss greens. Some retain the vintage look of faded paint or sun-bleached whitewash. The years of fencing use create an instantly recognizable look.
All material is kiln dried, goes through a brushing process and can be milled many ways for easy installation. Paneling is 1/2-inch thick, with a 5-inch face, in lengths of 12 to 70 inches.
