Here's how to build one from scratch, choose a good ready-made version from a store, or decorate an existing fence so it's a landmark once again. A gallery introduces a range of types, from the kind found in a simple cottage garden to something fancy and elaborate. Use this as a springboard for selecting your own fence. Then get to work! The general information on construction covers tools, lumber, coatings, stains, paints, varnishes, and hardware, as well as specifics for building fences out of pickets, twigs, and lattices.
