Before you begin, measure the total length of the area you want to fence. Then head to the store for materials. You will need:
- 4" x 4" treated wood posts – I used 36″ long posts to build a 24″ tall fence
- 5/8" x 3.5" fence boards – I used 6′ long boards
- Post hole digger
- Crowbar
- Hammer & nails
- Screw driver
- Bubble level
- Measuring tape
Have a question about this project?
How does this keep the dogs out?
I thought it said “keeps critters out”?
How did you do the edging on your yard?
Yes exactly. Thank you.
Wow! You did a great job! Are you going to paint it white to go with you house trim? Fence post closet to your driveway would be an excellent place to add your street address as well!
👍
Thanks, Den! No, I don't plan to paint it. I find that much harder to maintain and keep looking good. I'll just let it get that weathered look.
