[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1747535, member: 21194"] Use your cursor (or select the text on your phone) that you want to remove. [ATTACH type="full"]16758[/ATTACH] Then hit the delete button if you're on a computer, or use the backspace key if you're on a phone. I saw one or two comments above about how wood fences wouldn't hold up, or look good for very long. I beg to differ. I have some that are well over 10 years old, and have held up well and still look good. The secret is to not skimp on material and use good construction practices. [LIST=1] [*]Instead of buying 14' or 16' boards and putting one post in the middle buy 16' boards and space your posts at 64" (5'-4"). [*]Build it with five boards.
