DIY Privacy Fence for Large dog-Looking for Tips & Best Materials

Hi DIYers, I’m planning to build my own privacy fence to keep my 90lb lab/Pyrenees/ Anatolian mix secured. My current chain-link fence is falling apart, and my neighbors aluminum (?) fence already took damage when my dog tried to greet their pup. I’ve gotten some quotes, but let’s just say I’m not sure what gold-plated nails these companies are using! So, I’m going the DIY route and could use some guidance. -Best materials for a strong privacy fence (vinyl vs wood) -Best way to set posts so they don’t shift over time -essential tools and techniques to make the job easier. -Any money-saving tricks without cutting corners on strength. I work in construction, so I have some experience, but fencing isn’t my specialty. Any step-by-step advice or lessons would be awesome. Thanks! submitted by /u/Accomplished_Gear734 [link] [comments]
