Any suggestions on a fence?

Here you go...no digs are a good economical way to install a fence-just push the steel stakes into the ground, available at diy stores:

We aren't diggers either. Used these from Home Depot.

Just pound into the ground and add 4x4's , screw in tight, then build the rest of your fence. Easier than trying to dig through clay with rocks!

This comes as a kit:

Hello there,

Use Post holders that bang into the ground called "Metpost". Once the posts are in the ground, attach your fencing.......Best wishes.

Here's a post that might help - https://everydayoldhouse.com/how-to-install-no-dig-grand-empire-fence/

I was going to say razor wire, but that would you would be the "cranky" neighbor.

Hi Ruthie, here are a few ideas for you to try,

There are a bunch of companies that sell no dig fence supplies, I'd check with your local hardware store.

You can make a quick one in one afternoon using pallets (usually free at many businesses)

and reinforcing bar. The bar comes in 10' lengths and you can cut in half if you have no way of hauling them. Stand a pallet on edge and start to pound one piece of 5' rebar into front left and one into right rear. Remove the pallet. Sledge hammer the rebar down at least a foot. Slide the pallet back up and move on to the next. You can level with a rock here and there. Easy to put up, easy to take down.

Hi Em

Thank you for your input😊

98% of US has 6’ high restrictions on backyard fences.

Also the fence posts are supposed to be on your side of the property.

Lastly, untreated lumber will last about 5-9 years and I would think about what your labor is worth to replace it all, or have the posts rotting at the ground, sooner than expected.

That happened to me, at the house I bought. Whole fence starting to fall over.
