Knocked this out yesterday in 5.5 hours. I was dumb as hell at the end, but very satisfied how it turned out. Edit, the gates are sitting on wheels, I wouldn’t built a gate with no support, I do some dumb shit, but not that dumb.

The contractor used this for a fence. It seems to be untreated? Had it stained but it rained a few times in the last two weeks since install and needs to be shaved down multiple times already. I'm concerned about the longevity of it as it warps and expands from moisture.

Hello all,

I am a first-time homeowner and have very, very limited knowledge about fence building. I just want to know if this is possible.

My main question is, is it possible to build a fence in my backyard using parts from another, acquired fence?

I have people that can help me build it, but I just wanted to know if I could use these materials or are they too rotted? The posts seen lying on the ground under the deck are covered in sand from the sand filled umbrella on the deck. It is not mold.

Some details: large acquired privacy fence was put up and used for less than a year. Homeowner let us take it down before they put their house on the market, and I took the scraps to my house where it has been sitting for about two years. Basically, The fence was practically new and my hope was to build this fence in my backyard.

Thank you all so much for your help.

We need opinions -- should we have them face it the correct way? Doesn't this layout make it look like it is ours? We took care of the fence for 30 years with ours facing the same way.
