Cedar Fence

Cedar Fence

I recently helped a neighbor up the road construct a 180' long - 6' tall cedar fence at the edge of his property. All in all it was an good time and I always enjoy helping out at other peoples houses.

I think the hardest part was digging the fence posts. Along his property line, we encountered a lot of tree roots and concrete. Living in an established area means anything can be underground. The biggest item we pulled out was at the end of the fence line. It was a concrete section that was approx. 2' x 3' x 3' deep section. It must of been from an old firepit or garage at one time. Each picket has 6 screws attached to the 2 x 4 horizonal cross members. 6 * 160 = 960 My drill had a workout.

It was approx a three day job. One to dig and set the posts, one for the 2 x 4 cross members and the last day to set the pickets. It was his job to stain the fence with a clear stain.
