I've haven't been able to find info about building an 8ft wooden privacy fence, so I'm using the info I've found for smaller fences.I'm just doing the back of my yard to block dogs from jumping into my yard and an ugly house behind me. The fence is about 62 feet long.
Should I use 12 ft posts buried 4ft deep with the hole being 12 inches wide? Or should I cut posts to 11ft and bury 3 feet. I plan on filling the holes with concrete spaced about 7.5 feet apart.
The wood I plan to use is pine treated 4x4s for the posts and cedar for the three 2x4 rails and the 1x6 pickets. I also plan to use string and a level to make sure it is straight.
I've checked with my city and the fence limit is 8ft
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated
