The job started with removing and disposing of the old fence, then setting out the line with a string line to keep the full run straight and true. Post holes were dug to depth and each post was concreted in, checked for plumb and left to set before any rails went on.
Rails were fixed level along the length, following the natural fall of the ground where needed, then the palings were spaced and fixed evenly so the finish stays clean and consistent from one end to the other.
Most fences that fail do so at the posts, so that’s where we take our time. Get the setout and footings right and the fence will stay straight and solid for years.
