Building a fence

[czechsonofagun]

I got lucky with 17 planks to a section. After installing planks on both ends I just need to put the next one in the middle and the one after in the middle and so on. Makes it easier than going from side to side with accumulated error on the end.

Be sure and apply some wood stain when you are done. I've had very good luck with Sherwin Williams Deckscapes on new cedar.

I've also had good luck with Sherwin Williams stains. Spend a little more for it, but it lasts so much longer!!!

It's been a while, here is some progress.

Above picture is from winter, this one is from yesterday. We are painting it panel by panel. I move panels and install them, my wonderful wife paints. Nothing fancy, just white.

Here is the gate roughed in. I want to stucco those two pillars and put in a small gate to access the mailbox and such. Also lights for gate pillars are necessary - says the wife

The little trees will be removed and I will get few loads of unwashed gravel to cover the driveway. I keep getting offers to black top it, but I like the gravel better. One of the reasons is the rain water can soak into gravel not in the black top.

Gotta figure out the gate now. Steel frame with oak boards attached is what I am thinking. I could make the frame wooden too, but steel stays the same, does not twist and sag. The small gate will have to match the big gate somehow.

Ideas?
