I wish I had known about this sooner! You can build a beautiful, cheap, wood fence by buying pre-assembled 4' x 8' (or other assemblies) sections of spruce picket fence (that's a large and sturdy picket style fence). Cost per section is about $20. **I even found pressure-treated pre-fab fence sections for about $22 today when I went back to the lumber store to buy one more section (on sale around mid - end of May).
All you do is buy cedar, or other wood, posts (cost about $20 each), sink them in the ground several feet, and then attach the pre-assembled sections of picket fence between them. We just finished fencing in our pool this way for a total cost of about $260.
Much easier and cheaper than any other option I've found.
There are more expensive pre-assembled types of fencing that you can buy such as shadow-box style and many more, but the picket was definitely the cheapest.
My passions are many: Antique Clocks, Gluten Free Food that tastes great, Dogs, DIY house projects, and Spirituality, to name a few. I have a small home-based business where I repair antique and modern clocks. I am also licensed by Environmental Health to sell GF baked goods at craft fairs. I spend my free time trying out new recipes for GF food, cleaning products, chalk paint, you name it! Where am I? Prince Edward Island, Canada!
