Home-improvement expert Jeff Beneke shows homeowners how to select and build the right fence to meet their needs. Includes step-by-step illustrated instructions for building wood, masonry, metal, and living fences that last.This complete guide shows homeowners how to select and build fences that provide privacy and security, mark boundaries, hide unpleasant views, keep animals in or out, beautify a yard, and provide protection from the elements. Because different fences serve different purposes-a bright white picket fence might add curb appeal but won''t do much to secure your property from animals or people-it''s important to think through the design process before the first hole is dug. Author Jeff Beneke walks readers through this planning process-High or low? Open or closed? Gated or no? Building with wood, metal, brick, concrete, or shrubbery? What type of fasteners? After the design and materials have been chosen, Beneke guides readers through the building process with illustrated step-by-step instructions. Also included is information on how to repair fences and gates that have been damaged by the ravages of time.
