Fence Building

I am beginning my summer project of fencing in the yard. About two and a half acres. I've got it marked off, and if I put a post every six feet, I will need about 120 posts. I was planning to use 8ft. landscape timbers into three foot deep post holes. Then use 1x4x12's as the rails. I was going to stagger them (1x4's) one on top and one on the bottom and then use 4x4 fencing wire mesh around the whole thing. Any thoughts on this? Anyone know of a good fence building how to website. I know it's not rocket science and I have built a larger fence before this, but it was a different style and a bit more crude. It was for cattle. Does anyone think I should put some concrete in the bottom of the post holes for a more solid post?

    Concrete will destroy treated wood? We always concrete our posts in. Maybe we need to rethink that. Jessica In a message dated 7/23/02 6:18:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time, dalu@... writes:
