Installing a Quick Fence

If you have plenty of time on your hands, some basic woodworking skills and a few friends willing to help you, then installing a quick fence may be a viable option for you. A few tips and tricks can make this project go smoothly for most any home do-it-yourselfer.

Quick fence  is your goal, you’ll need to take some extra steps to make sure that no one can see what’s inside your yard. One way to do this is to grow climbing plants such as ivy and clematis along your fence; these plants can hide the view from the inside of the garden. Just be sure to fix trellises or wires for these plants to climb on; they don’t tend to hold up very well on their own.

Another important tip is to pay special attention to how deep your post-holes are dug. Typically, they should be at least one-third to one-half of the height of your fence to ensure that they are stable when filled with concrete or other material. The soil type will also affect how deep to dig your posts; sandy soils, for instance, often require deeper holes than loamy ones.

Before beginning any work on your new fence, it’s a good idea to consult with your neighbors about the proposed construction and discuss your plans with your town building inspector to make sure that you are following all local laws and regulations regarding fencing. Many communities require a permit for fences, and you may be required to observe zoning setbacks or height restrictions from your property line.
