This review will discuss how homeowners can install fencing around their homes on a budget. According to the narrator in the video, the structure of a home fence is comprised of 4 x 4 x 8" posts to secure the 2 x 4" horizontal timber or vinyl pieces and pickets. The posts should be buried two feet below the ground, the horizontal pieces should be secured on the posts using screws, and the pickets should be nailed onto the horizontal pieces. Homeowners should start by planning the layout. Then, they can proceed by installing the corner posts and using a string line to establish a perimeter. Next, homeowners should use paint to mark where they will position the posts. The space between posts should be about eight feet. All posts should be secured in the ground using concrete. After building their fences, a homeowner can also build a gate using the same posts, horizontal pieces, and pickets.
