Planning Your Fence
Privacy fences define boundaries, protect children, contain pets and block wind, but the primary reason for building a fence is privacy! Board fences are made up of boards nailed to a post and rail framework in various configurations and patterns. Building a fence is well within the skill level of most do-it-yourselfers, and by building it yourself you'll save a lot of money!
Post spacing is usually 8 feet on center, therefore it's easier to estimate your fencing material in 8' increments. Keep in mind that additional posts and rails may be necessary for ends, corners and gates. Please check your local codes before purchasing fencing from Sutherlands!
