Fencing, anyone?

I recently built a wood fence for a family member. It was quite an opportunity to hone these skills and it came out great. Its the details that matter. I think a fence with a nice, level top line is far superior to a fence that undulated with the terrain. iT looks so clean and precise and like it was designed for the space, instead of the look being dictated by the environment.

It is tempting to use the premade panels available at the box stores but there are significant drawbacks to what you would think would be a turnkey method of fence bulidng.. When you build your own panels in place, you are more flexible with making things fit and it really isnt much more expensive. Just the ability to precisely place nails is a dramatic improvement over the haphazardly assembled store panels.

If your HOA allows for wood fencing, i recommend it over vinyl or chain link, as its more sturdy than vinyl, offers more privacy than chain link and beats both in terms of looks hands down. Its a landscaping winner and make any back yard fell inviting and weill-designed. Get in touch if you want your backyard to stand out
