re: How hard is it to DIY a wooden privacy fence?

While the post hole digger may be more work, it won’t break your back like a auger will when it catches a root or some hard clay. Be careful with that thing.

Day 1- dog holes, cement posts in ground and let it sit
Day 2- put the runners up
Day 3- start adding boards. Run your line at the bottom to ensure you are not going to hit the ground when putting them up.


I see screws were suggested, but just as a caution, they will take 2x as long to put up and cost 2x as much. Nail gun is cheaper and easier.
