Last year we happily removed the old chain link fence in our backyard and replaced it with brand new wood fence. It was an interesting project because we had multiple trees on the property line to work around! Here's the lovely finished product :)While it may seem pretty standard, it was anything but. Let's look at the original fence (complete with a pile of junk in the yard from a shed clean out!). It was standard chain link with green privacy slats.
I was all too happy to rip this thing out.
We were able to use the majority of the old fence post holes and quickly erected pre-fabricated fence panels.
Each panel was screwed into landscape timbers (a fraction of the cost of a 4x4!).
We also made sure to level each section and allow for a little room below so the wood wasn't sitting in the dirt where it would rot quickly.
Then we got to the hard part. The property line went directly through a tree in a V-shape.
Yikes! We knew we had a few options (cut the trees down, build bump-outs in the fence), but we ultimately decided to custom build right through the tree. We got the pre-fabricated fence panels as close as we could and had to build the rest of the fence ourselves. The top rung of the fence was able to span the entire gap through the tree.
We then made some custom frames for the fence slats to attach to.
While it took a while to measure and cut each fence slat to fit around the tree, I'm very happy with the result and would do it again if I had to.
It is wonderful that our backyard now feels like a secluded place of our own.
