This book is excellent. It contains lots of ideas along with explanations and instructions. We built a great-looking fence in the front yard with no experience. We will use this wonderful reference again and again.

This is exactly the book that I was looking for. Lots of pictures, good writeup on how to get out there and do it. Nice section on fence repair. No seond thoughts on this one.

My husband and I got this book to make an inset board ("Good Neighbor" design) fence. Unlike the 25 other books I reviewed, this book explained EVERYTHING. Which nails (wood, fence design, hardware, etc.) are available and which work best in which application. The instructions for the fence were VERY clear. The book contained excellent descriptions and drawings for each stage of building our fence and gate. It also contained many lovely photos for inspiration. We needed no other explanation in building our fence but this book. Having never built a fence before we were finished in a weekend!

If you are thinking of building your first fence (as I was) or you just want to know proper techniques, this book was written for you. I was somewhat apprehensive over building my first fence but after reading this book I had the confidence to attempt it. I can not rate this book highly enough. Everything is detailed out in simple, plain English. The author does not assume any prior fence-building experience. Bottom Line: If you are thinking of building your own fence from scratch then this book will give you all the information you need. Excellent book.
