When we wanted to install a privacy fence to make an enclosed courtyard in
the front, we bought the fence in pieces, first we figured out how many
posts we would need, then saved up that much money plus another 40 bucks or
so, for the powered post hole auger. We laid out the post positions on
weekend then set them in place. We used a basket weave pattern, I can post a
picture if you want, but we saved the cash to buy the lumber for one
section, then bought that lumber and put up that section, then started
saving for the next section, so when we were done the fence was paid for, no
credit and now huge outlay all at once, you also get to put the sections
that block the most view up first.

Subject: [DIY] EASY PRIVACY FENCE??
It there such a thing?? I "love" living in town. NOT!! I actually have
pretty good neighbors but Murphy (the one of "Murphy's Law" fame) has
followed me around the past few years and must have followed me here. I
have a really goofy (to the point of being spooky) neighbor who is usually
high on something. He lives with his parents who are gone 6 months out of
the year. This guy is in his 50's. His bedroom window looks out on my front
door and driveway area. He can see me coming and going and it gets harder
and harder to sneak past him.
IS THERE ANY EASY WAY to install some kind of privacy fence along the drive
and walk way at the front of my house?? The area gets VERY WINDY at times.
The snow can get rather high. The sun is gruesome. I am NOT good at
digging deep into the ground, which contains numerous river rocks.
I need something with good privacy that I can just kind of push/pound into
the ground ... deep enough it will stay up ..tall enough (6 ft??) to give me
privacy. I purchsed one metal trellis on sale for $30 and it's only about 5
ft high. The climbing weeds quickly took it over, but they are dying off
now that winter is starting this direction.
Money is a bit of an issue as far as having something professionally
constructed. It seems every time I turn around I am spending LOTS of money
on this house. Of course, moving isn't an option with the market sinking
lower and lower. ANY FANTASTIC SUGGESTIONS????
Thanks!! Darci (Nothing like asking the impossible.)
