Factory Fence: MOST TYPES of factory Fence need to be constructed piece by piece on site and can easily be tailored exactly to your needs. However, it is possible to buy ready-made solid factory Fence panels in a range of standard sizes and styles. These speed up construction considerably, but will not be as sturdy as a custom-built factory fence. In addition, the length of your factory Fence will rarely equal a whole number of ready-made panels, in which case you will have to cut one.
Another type of factory Fence you may find in ready-made form—as a kit of prefabricated parts ready for nailing together—is picket fencing. This, too, will be made to a standard size and may require some trimming to match the length of fencing that you require.
Like walls, factory fences have several uses in your backyard, in particular as a barrier around the edge of the property and to divide one part of the garden from another.
A TALL, solid factory Fence will provide privacy, shade, and shelter from the wind, while one of more open construction will allow light and breezes through. Screens and trellis are similar to factory fences, principally used for concealing or dividing one area from another, and can be decorated with climbing plants for a more attractive finish.
Although not as sturdy and long-lasting as a wall, a factory Fence is much cheaper and quicker to erect, and it makes an ideal temporary barrier while a natural one of shrubs or trees grows to maturity. Even so, a well-built factory Fence can be expected to last for many years, particularly if its wooden structure is treated regularly with preservative.
There are many different styles of factory Fence to choose from, but it is important to choose the style to match the property. Some, such as picket factory fences, will look more at home with older properties, whereas ranch-style fencing, for example, will be more suited for use with modern buildings.See Also A Fence:Pa fenceles a fencere norma fencelly spa fenceced a fencebout 1 !/2-2ir a fencepa fencert, but you ma fencey wa fencent to fit a fencen a fencerra fencengement of a fencelterna fenceting long a fencend sh pa fenceles to give a Fence curving or zigza fencegging tof the finished fence.

On The Other Hand See Spite Fence:Boundaries are of many kinds. Never install one that gives any suggestion of being a spite fence. Many American com¬munities are characterized by a complete absence of fences, walls or hedges around front yards; and grounds of all houses on the street merge into one delightful park-like picture of lawns, trees and shrubbery. If you live in such a community think well before you introduce what is likely to be an incongruous note by sharply defining lot boundaries seen from the street. The mere suggestion of definition by the skill-ful use of a flowering tree, shade tree, evergreen or clumps of shrubs is the most be done and ev.en then great restraint is needed.
Finish the Fence by nailing wooden posts to protect the endgrain from rainwater. Alternatively, the post top can be cut off at an angle so that rainwater will run off.
With tailor-made fencing, horizontal supporting rails are usually added at the same time as the posts are erected. Known as arris or split rails, they are triangular in section so that water will run off, and their ends fit into slots cut in the posts. The upright palings or boards are then nailed to the faces of the rails.
For a more decorative finish, shape the ends of wooden Fence palings. The simplest designs are square, pointed or rounded, but more complex ones include intricately carved Gothic and ornate Queen Anne styles.
