[quote=plm][quote=gzz]A fence is about the simplist thing to do yourself.
I enjoyed picking through the pickets at home depot to find the reddest redwood.
I put two side stacked rows of standard bricks partly underground below the wood to make it harder for weeds and animals to burrow under the fence, and also so the bottom of the pickets had less soil contact.[/quote]
My rental property I need to fix up so I need to repair some pieces of the wood fence and also replace the rusted out wrought iron fence. Are the wood pieces all standard size so I just buy new ones and replace. Or do I need a saw to cut to length? Don’t know if I should do it myself or just have whatever company I find to do the wrought iron fix, fix the wood fence as well.
Thanks[/quote]
It depends. If it’s just a panel that is broken, that’s easy to fix. If posts are broken, then you pretty much need a complete fence, since the labor it takes to disassemble the original fence just to remove and replace the post is much more than the cost of material itself.
