BarrierBoss Embraces KDBT Lumber for Superior Framed Fencing
BarrierBoss’s move to kiln-dried before treatment (KDBT) lumber aligns with how leading wood science groups describe “best case” conditions for stability and preservative performance in outdoor construction lumber. By drying lumber in a controlled kiln before treatment, BarrierBoss is essentially engineering the wood’s moisture profile so the preservative can do its job more effectively and the boards stay straighter over the long term.

Let customers speak for us
The quality is outstanding
I love the colour & look.
Really great fence panels! Beautiful cedar wood and the metal mesh is very strong and looks great.
Exceptional quality, very well made, very sturdy and beautiful!
Nice finishing touch on the posts.
We are extremely happy with our new privacy fences
The wire use for this fencing is thick and sturdy. Also, the fencing material is well coated to stand up to the elements. Not only is the fencing material well made, but the support you get from the customer service department is outstanding. They promptly answer emails, and they keep you informed about the delivery. Barrier Boss is an outstanding company!
Great product and service
Barrier Boss products are well made. Our initial order for 3 x standard panels took forever (as they warned us) but when we ordered the remaining custom panels, it was super quick. It was great to deal with Leo. I liked thst they bring their pets to work :-)
Super pleased with product and delivery staff!
Can use for many purposes and very secure and strong! Love it!!!
free Delivery even in a remote location. Every piece of treated wood was great quality better than the local lumberyard. Metal was in great condition and customer service couldn’t have been better. Definitely use again and recommend to others
Excellent product! Outstanding Delivery!
Good quality finish.
We have been looking at installing a hog wire fence and found these pre-built panels from BarrierBoss. They made short work of building our fence and we were thrilled with the quality of the product and the delivery cost. Other than a delay caused by the tariffs we couldn't be more pleased.
The hog wire panels are well made and highly attractive, and I'm glad that I held out and waited for them. That being said, the turnaround was terrible. I placed my order on April 28th and it was early September before the order was shipped. Lots of excuses as to why it was taking so long to fulfil the order, including in July when I was told that they were unable to provide the posts that I had ordered (though they were still selling them on the website). I was refunded the purchase price of the posts, but it still took another 2 months to ship my order. For most people, there are probably better options available.
