How to Build a Good Neighbor Fence
Want to build a fence that looks just as good from your side as it does from your neighbor’s? A good neighbor fence is the perfect solution. Our step-by-step fence plans walk you through the entire process, from setting posts to hanging gates that last for decades. We’ve even included a materials calculation form so you know exactly what to buy before you start.
Strong Footings, Strong Fence
Our plans cover more than just the basics. You’ll learn how to pour frost-resistant footings that stand up to both winter heave and summer wind. While most guides suggest 4×4 posts, we typically recommend upgrading to 6×6. The reason? Modern pressure-treated lumber isn’t as durable as the older arsenic-based material, so sturdier posts give your fence the lifespan it deserves.

If you’re serious about building a fence that’s strong, attractive, and built to last, these plans will give you the confidence to do it right the first time.
