My First Fence!

Submitted by shortyjuan on Tue, 10/29/2013 - 07:52

This project took me about 2 weeks. Granted, it would have been quicker, but I could only work on it a few hours every couple days. I've never built a fence before, I think anyone could do it. Just take your time and that includes time to plan. I designed houses for a year about 10 years ago, so I actually drafted some plans to help me determine how much lumber I would need. This fence will welcome our new family member soon, my wife's 4 year old german shepherd. Also, this is a treated pine fence, instead of cedar. Thanks for the tips Anna.

Built from Plan(s)
Cedar Fence
Estimated Cost
$1500
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
I will stain this fence next year after the wood dries out.
Recommended Skill Level

Great job. Definitely more character than the neighbor's! Love the copper post caps as well.
