Default Material for fence

I am looking for suggestions on places to purchase material to build a wooden fence. I am looking at roughly 1200 ft of fence. I am wanting to use square 5x5 posts and 1x8 as runners. Looking for other potential places besides Lowes, Home Depot, Stines, etc.

Williams Wood in Carlyss
Scott 515-6996
He can get anything you want plus he has equipment to cut, plain, jig or whatever you want done custom along with a kiln to dry wood if needed.
I bought some 10''x10'' post for my house and he was very fair and got them quick.

Figure $9 a foot for material anywhere you go. 4x4 and 2x4 not 5x5 or 1x8.

Gillis Lumber was roughly .85¢/ft for cypress rough cut boards, 1"x6". They have all sizes.

That's $5.10 per 6' picket and $12,240.00 to cover 1,200 ft. A 1" runner will not hold up 16 pickets per 8' between centers, will need min of 3 2x4's in order for it not to sway when wet. OP might want to rethink the total area of fence if price is a problem.

I assummed he was talking more of a cattle fence with
horizontal boards verses the standard picket fence.
