Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

There are different types of pet fencing available to keep your furry family member safe:

• Chain link fencing is an affordable but not visually appealing option.

• Vinyl panel fencing is less easily damaged than wood. 

• Wood fencing is customizable but requires regular maintenance. 

• Metal iron fencing provides a sleek look but doesn’t block your pet’s view. 

• Electric fencing eliminates the need for a traditional fence, but it could be painful to your pet. 

• Picket fencing adds to your curb appeal but won’t contain most pets. 

• Brick or stone fencing stops pets from digging out of the yard but costs more.

Most privacy fences are easy to install if you’re going with a DIY-friendly option like a wood fence, vinyl fence, or pallet fence. Since pallet fences come in the form of pre-constructed fence panels, they’re often considered the easiest privacy fence to install. Just get your fence stakes in the ground and slide the pallets onto them before securing them with scrapboard.

You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.
