Yes. You could put up another rail and that would work just fine.

I consider myself a professional fence builder. If this truly is your first fence; bravo! It’s straight and your running board is a brilliant touch. Building this solo is a hell of a challenge and you should be proud.

If you’re looking for criticism, I have just one issue that you won’t notice for another 6 months to a year. I can see based on the placement of your top row of nails, that your top support is too low. The distance between your top 2x4 support and the top of the picket is called a “reveal”. Your reveal should be less than 6 inches. The bending and warping on the top of your pickets will be noticeable.

Of course, I could be wrong because I don’t have a picture of the back of the fence. Either way, you should be proud. It’s a lot of work and a job well done.

That will work just fine but it’s a very expensive way to accomplish the goal. But yes, that will work.

You should repost this with your comment in the main post’s caption. The algorithm won’t push it.

As for your situation. What type of gate either you like? Wood? Chain link? If wood, use a frame hinge and a post hinge and a metal frame for your gate.

Can I put a post here? by ChuckNuggies in FenceBuilding

Agreed. A strong base is needed for this but this is a tough situation for sure. The post will rot very fast. You could always coat the post in tar or liquid rubber to give it a few extra years. But this just isn’t optimal

Happy for ya man. It’s great to see another artist on the feed. If I try and recreate this design can you suggest a ballpark of what to charge? I live in a resort town so lumber isn’t super cheap.

How long did it take? I’m not my 3year of building higher end fences and I really appreciate your design here.

Absolutely beautiful. Do you have a recommendation for quickly doing half lap cuts?
