Can anyone suggest some cost saving ideas for a board fence? I want to put a board fence around part of my property. It will be used to define the property lines and be decorative. It won't be used to fence in livestock. I just think it would look really nice.
I was thinking buying 4"x96" round treated post and using 5/4 deck boards (x3). I think 3 boards high is what I want. Rough guess is about $3000 for 1000' of fence per Lowes prices.
Are there deals to be had when buying fence post? Is there a certain lumber/board to use? Should I consider split rail instead? What is a acceptable distance between poles?
One thing I did notice is my neighbor had some logging done on his place. About 1 year later he put up this beautiful fence. I wonder if the fence is from his logging?
Thanks,
Dave
