Before you do anything, make sure you know the exact dimensions of your property. Your RPR will tell you that.
You have to have the city come out and mark off where any underground utilities are, and you also have to investigate whether your property has any city right of ways on it. ou don't want to have to deconstruct at youor own expense.
Those post spikes aren't too bad, but won't stay sturdy forever.
If and when you sell your house, your RPR will no longer be accurate. That'll cost you another 300 bucks for a new one.
You usually can't build fences right to the property line.
Uh, this is one of my old tricks for diagnosing a car problem. Probably works for crash course education for fence building too...
I used to call 3 or 4 part stores and ddescribe the problem. After getting mild consensus from a couple of them, I'd call a couple of mechanics and get prices quoted to me more accurately (because I kinda knew what I was talking about by then).
Then I'd either have them do it, or just hit the junkyard and the manual and do it myself.
I suppose the same kind of thing could work for finding out all you need to know about building a fence.
