Build a Cheap Wood Picket Fence for $200
Here on our farm, we count our pennies and look for creative ways to reuse and recycle whatever we can. Any building project no matter how small is planned way in advance. This month’s project was to build a cheap wood picket fence around the kitchen garden. We hope to keep the chickens from using it as their personal space, plus add a pretty visual to my favorite garden.
After reviewing our budget, we determined we could spare $200 to complete this project. With a quick walk around the farm, and a few Internet searches we came up with a plan using what we already had and keeping to a $200 budget.
We already had a good supply of wood pallets behind the barn, and knew we could get more if needed.
Hubby went to work taking the pallets apart and cut them into the picket shape. I am so thankful he is good and strong because taking apart pallets is not something I can do. I was able to lend a hand in taking out the nails, but other than that it was truly man’s work!
