We would like to fence in our back yard with 6' x 8' wood fence panels (I would guess using 4" x4" posts). Wood choices would be probably white pine, white cedar, red cedar, or redwood for the panels. The total perimeter is approximately 200 lineal feet. We would probably need/want two gates. We will probably use either Home Depot or Lowe's for both product and contracted installation. We live in Mesa, Arizona, so would only be concerned with heat issues since we get very little rain and (obviously) no snow or ice. Overall cost is some consideration.
I would welcome opinions on choice of material as well as any recommendation of Home Depot vs. Lowe's. I understand that both companies engage or arrange for independent contractors for installation.
We're not quite ready to get estimates, so thought I would ask here first.
TIA
