I fixed our wood fence myself. Asked the neighbors if they are ok with me crossing to their side when needed. They all said yes, one guy came out to help while I was working on his side and his wife brought doughnuts, one guy offered to split the cost of material (I said no since material alone on his side was $100) and the third guy did nothing, but they all like me better now.
Materials are cheap (try pine tree lumber, especially if you have a contractor friend with an account there). In my case the posts were fine and that helped with keeping the cost down.
