How NOT to Build a Fence

The boards that run the length need to meet on a post.  Plan your post locations so they match the board length.  Not only does it look bad, you loose a lot of strength.  Keep the distance between posts short for more strength.  For extra strength cut a notch in the post for the boards to set into (set the posts first so they line up). ALWAYS use rot resistant wood for the posts (Redwood, Pressure treated...)
