Arizona here as well. I’m on the golf course and I need to separate my side patio so once in a while, I can be in the backyard without golfer, staring at me. Love this design and aesthetic. I think my only change will be HOA friendly color for my house and instead of landscaping fabric between, I’m just gonna offset/stagger/overlap the horizontal slats on either side so you can’t peer through. I’ll space the posts at 5 feet. If I get sagging overtime,I’ll use fasteners with torx heads so it’s easier to replace. 🤙

in the wet weather climates, instead of the cloth material, you could use 1/4inch "Hardware Cloth" Black Vinyl Coated Chicken Wire Fence. it is Galvanized Welded Mesh Roll for Home Garden and comes in 24" x 50' rolls for about $35. it is obviously a little added cost, but the life-span far exceeds a Ryobi tool any day!

How would this design work with bolting a baseplate into asphalt and fixing the post in as opposed to digging 2 ft deep?

[@danrockwell1883]

Nothing just will be way easier without having to dig and pour concrete. Watch videos on driving into concrete, go slow with the screws or they’ll hollow out, or if you’re using anchors, make sure you use the right size bit for the anchors

[@snowwny]

I want to make a free standing privacy fence for my balcony. The fence will be 36” wide. Do you think using a 2x12 lumber laying flat as base is sturdy enough? The 2x12 base will span full width of the panel. Both end post will be screwed to the same base. I will make sure there is no room for the base to move. I will also zip tie or metal strap the end post to the balcony railings.

[@jeffspangler2367]

Rip one board in 1/2 length wise and stager the boards on one side…paint the backsides of all the boards black, so you can’t see through and never have to deal with the landscaping fabric in the future. That way you could widen the gap and use less wood(like only 2 boards less) but it would let more wind pass through if you get lots of wind.

[@danrockwell1883]

Great idea! So far the fabric has held up great but when it fails it’ll be a pain

[@marthajean50]

The landscaping fabric will likely last for quite some time. The staples will give out first, though, as they don't last long at all when exposed to water. So it will sag and droop before it's actually truly unusable. Trying to think what would be more permanent without being expensive, but you might have thought up the best CHEAP short-term solution.

[@danrockwell1883]

Yeah it was kind of a last minute thing on a budget, so far so good, been well over a year. Luckily for me we get very little rain here.

[@marthajean50]

@@danrockwell1883 Well, it looks great, and I bet you get quite some good years out of the fabric, either way. If you put up another one, you can get yourself some stainless staples for it (marine or upholstery ones are available in standard sizes) and then you'll really have an edge. Looks beautiful, and a great stain color, too! 👍

If you fasten it where it wont be seen behind one of the board, button caps would work fine. Just plastic and gal nail

[@ThePriceIsRising]

I like the look. Good job. However, only putting primer paint on the portion of the post that goes in the ground, does not help much at all. I imagine that maybe those posts will last pretty long in AZ. I have lived in NY, NC and Florida, those post would rot in the ground in three years. A better way to treat the in-ground posts is the old farmers way. There are a couple different processes they use and its reported those post last twenty-plus years. You can youtube search for “farmers wood fence post treatment”. One process is soaking the bottom portion of posts in a container of diesel oil and gas combo for a day of two. Some say just used motor oil. Check it out, if you are doing a fence soon.

[@danrockwell1883]

You’re probably right, thanks for the info!

[@travisedwards9983]

Yes, the diesel and motor oil mixture is an old trick that was used on pretty much all farms. Also they stained all the fences with it as well. If want something different than that for the bottom of posts, use a roof coating like Gaco or an off brand. Any roofing supply will have it, silicon based and made to last 20 years on a roof surface so will be more than good for a post.

[@reccocon3442]

Yep, and using roof tar would seem better if next to a veggie garden where minimal petro leaches in soil.

[@RobHTech]

use stainless screws/nails. They sell plastic shells to put around the bottom that heat shrinks on, then put into the ground. Seal all the boards/posts before you build the fence, not after. Then recoat annually or more. Horizontal fences posts should not be more than 6' apart. For 6" horizontal, 5'. Smaller boards can go 6'.

[@danrockwell1883]

why stain after? how much are stainless screws? Sounds pricey. I remember getting all stainless for my gate hardware and it was so much

[@RobHTech]

@@danrockwell1883 stainless, ring shank, glue dipped, collated nails for a nail gun about $110 for 2500 nails. Not expensive. The stainless doesn't react with the wood chemical treatment, don't rust out, and won't react with the stain, etc. For the price for the benefits, it's def. worth it. I said seal them before, NOT after. This makes sure that every board is completely sealed at least once, and you can do it in a controlled environment. Obviously when recoating, you can't get everything, but once coated the 1rst time, it will def. help resist rot, etc. even though water will get in between the joints.
