Patent number: 11413783Abstract: A system and methods for manufacturing and constructing a fence panel or pickets using engineered wood products, including, but not limited to, oriented-strand board (OSB), fiber strand, or laminated strand lumber. An entire piece of durable, treated engineered wood panel is divided into multiple “fence blanks” of equal size. Each fence blank is then subjected to edge profiling on top and bottom edges, and top feature milling to create fence top features, with finishing, texture, printing, paper overlay, or combinations thereof, added to one or both faces of the blank. Blanks may be milled in a stack. Blanks may then have grooves or other finishing features added to create a finished fence panel. Alternatively, a fence blank can be slit or cut into multiple raw pickets, also with finishing treatments to one or both faces, to create a series of raw pickets. The resulting finished fence panel or pickets provide the authentic look and appeal of real wood, but with the advantages of treated engineered wood.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: LOUISIANA-PACIFIC CORPORATIONInventors: Adina Barnes, Jarrod Kevin Line, Gareth Paul Merrick

Publication number: 20210121912Abstract: A method and system for post-processing of engineered-wood fence pickets or similar fencing components. A post-processing line in the manufacturing factory or facility, or in a post-processing location, includes a special edge-sanding process and apparatus with one or more side sanders to treat the rough edges of the engineered-wood fence picket after sawing. The edge-sanding process produces a smooth side surface on the edges, significantly reduces the number of loose fibers and/or strands, and fills in and/or reduces void spaces. After sanding, the pickets on the belt pass through an apparatus for application of a primer to the processed picket edges. Acutely-angled limited fan sprayers provide complete coverage of the edges with primer at a particular coating thickness required for encapsulation and protection of the fence picket product. The limited fan sprayers may be positioned at varying angles and orientations with respect to the belt and pickets.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Inventors: JARROD KEVIN LINE, HEIDI TURNER
