Is it worth it to do your own privacy fence?
Hello, I want to build a privacy fence around my back yard. I figure it’s a matter of digging a hole every 10 feet or so and putting in a pressure treated 4x4 with a bag of ready mix in each hole. After that, you nail or screw on the horizontal boards and then you can use a jig to put each picket on perfectly. It seems so easy in theory to DIY, but I’m wondering about how much money I can save doing it myself. Anyone have any experience with this? I feel like it’s a good excuse for me to buy a siding nail gun… TIA submitted by /u/testpilot-alf [link] [comments]
