Tips On How to Build a Better Fence

Tired of looking at the old ugly fence all winter?

If you are thinking of replacing it here are some tips about getting the most value:

Be sure you use pressure treated lumber for the posts and rails. If you want to use all cedar posts you need to fill the holes with concrete and set a metal bracket into the concrete and attach to the post with bolts.

The cap on top should be cedar as are the fence boards.

When digging holes for the posts go down at least 2' and back-fill with concrete.

Set the fence boards several inches above the ground level. You can add a 2" x 6" pressure treated board along the bottom to protect the fence boards.
