How to Build a Wood Fence

Wood fences serve several different purposes. These purposes could be decorative or for privacy. No matter what the purpose, these wood fences will add value to your home and property. They will also add a new aesthetically pleasing feature to your home.

How to Build a Wood Fence:

Step 1: Tear down the old fence. Remove the old posts and concrete.

Step 2: Tie a string from one end of the fence to the other. This string is used to measure the height of your new fence. Ensure that this string is tied tight.

Step 3: Set all of your post at the height you determined in Step 2. Concrete the posts into the ground.

Step 4: Connect your 2-by-4 slats to each post ensuring that they are the same height as the string. Use metal brackets to connect each 2-by-4 slat to each other and to the posts.

Step 5: Cut the top of your posts to ensure they are the same height as your string. Cut the top of the slats if necessary.
