My son is "doing" a family friends garden. They talked about a fence I can see me getting roped in to help him but I have never built a fence (son has special needs so although he is quite compis I do not fancy him using a circular saw). I have no idea of sizes or anything (don't even know where it is going to be placed). She has a puppy (she puppy walks guide dogs) and is frightened it will jump over the existing wall. On trying to Google "how to build a fence" I got t something like 51 million hits.Can't really see me working my way through all of them so does anyone have a favourite fencing site?
Questions of the top of my head :-
a) Fence posts concreted in or on some sort of "ground anchor".
b) Trellis on top to both aid view and to collapse if anyone/thing tries to climb over, good idea/bad idea?
c) Location quite windy . Full panels a bad idea?
d) Vertical slats to stop puppy doing ability thing and "climbing" the fence.
e) As it's a guide dog pup should it be better trained not to loup fences (it was too small at first but now it is getting bigger).
f) Given my inexperience of fence building and son's needs (I really think this is too big a job for him). Would I be better sacking the whole idea, and telling FF she would be better getting a fencing firm in (money is quite tight for her so paying a firm would be very significant for her).
