How to build a fence
So I'm looking at building a fence... heard it was pretty easy so I decided to try it myself.
We have an old fence that collapsed from the wind and crazy weather. Now I just want a cheapo fence right now so nothing too extravagant.
To set the fence posts to my understanding... please correct me if I'm wrong
-Make holes 4 feet deep and 12 inches wide. Pour a few shovels of gravel in, insert fence post and pour concrete to the very top. Rinse and repeat.
-Make another fence post 8 feet from either side (middle) then put posts in the middle and so forth.
Q:For the railings how do I attach these on? Do I attach these directly onto the posts?
Q: Is that the proper way of doing fence posts? How do I make sure they are all sitting at the same height?
Q: What kind of wood should I be using? Pressure treated? Cedar? I just want to use the cheapest but best wood available. Not looking for aesthetics
