We live next to a grassy / weedy area and we needed a buffer, so we built a three foot rock border around the fence post. Shoveling the 1 1/2 inch gravel was by far the hardest part of the project. Our backs hurt for days.
Then we installed the 2 by 4 rails. This is when we discovered that the company we hired to install the rails didn't do the best job. There was a pretty big difference in the measurements between posts.
Stephen worked out a formula for spacing the pickets so you can't tell that the measurements are a foot different in some cases (we also got to buy a really nice finish nailer... YES!).
We went for a shadow box look with dog ears at the top of the pickets.
Now we have a beautiful cedar fence for our sweet puppy to run around outside.
And a little privacy from our neighbors as well. Our back yard is nowhere near done, but we're well on our way.
