Junker Police! So, wanna build my required 6ft "Privacy" fence so I can get my trucks out of storage and into my yard to save money and keep from neighbors site! I want to have big front gate for trucks to get thru. Can the 8' sections of fencing be strong enough to be gate too? Want two for a 16ft opening. OR, should I plan on 6ft for a 12ft? Eight foot is not enough with Mirrors and wide beds on big trucks to get through easily. Maybe I'll put in two big posts real high and have a cross peice above with my "ranch" name across them, like.....The "G" spot! Cool! Then neighbor will think it's some dirty sex going on behind the fence.
Any suggestions on how to put up fencing? I don't know how to get all the post holes centered so as not to have to keep "moving" the hole till sections can bolt up even and how do I run a string for straightness? Have to put in first and last poles to use string? How deep for a six foot fence? Can I use 8ft posts and keep 5ft out of ground? Post doesn't need to go to top of fence right? Only to the upper crossmember is what I think. Any sites on web with fencing hints/ideas? I know, like I always say....Go to Library! :p Any popular Mechanics or Science mags have fencing in them that you know of? Do I need a permit you suppose?
Think I'll rent a post-hole digger, used to use shovel type, gettin' too old for that anymore!
