Fences & Gates: Plan, Design, Build is a comprehensive guide for designing, building, and maintaining a fence designed to provide privacy, security, and beauty to a home's landscape. The book offers a practical combination of design, planning, and construction information. All types of fences and gates are covered, including pickets, split-rails, board designs, and more. Wood fences and gates are featured, but there are also chapters on vinyl, chain-link, and other utilitarian systems, such as underground electric pet fences. Individual chapters explain material options and show how to install, finish, and repair many types of posts, rails, and gates with step-by-step photo sequences.
