Whether it is meant to keep animals in or out, to mark a boundary, or provide a little privacy, a proper fence can make the difference between a world of trouble and peace of mind. For every situation, there is a type of fence that works better than any other. Wood posts or steel, wire mesh or chain link, perhaps rail, or wooden slats: this book will help you work out what type of fence you need, and how to go about building and maintaining it. A longtime writer and adviser on sound farming practices, Rick Kubik offers clear and expert advice on what works best in certain areas and for particular purposes. His instructions for planning and constructing each variety of fencing take the guesswork out of this critical job. The first, and most essential, tool for anyone thinking of fence building, this book spares both first-time and seasoned builders alike the wasted time and money of endless repairs and reconstruction with clear easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by illustrations of every stage in the process.
