If you’ve purchased an old home in the hopes of renovating and refurbishing it, you’ve probably made a rough draft of the areas you want to work on. You’ve probably looked up DIYs on carpentry, painting and décor. You’ve even bought furniture and plan to match the walls with it.
With this in mind, you want to do everything by yourself. You’ve bought self-help books as well and bookmarked YouTube videos.
You’re ready to take on the challenge of renovating the rooms of your house by yourself. But what about the outside of the house? What about gardening, fencing and taking care of the bugs and pests that threaten the woodwork of your house?
Not to mention, the old fence that covers the entire front yard of your home. While it’s good for privacy, it’s worn down, old and chipping. Anyone or anything can break in at night. Therefore, changing it is the best option you have. This is the tricky part.

You need to look into the history of your property before making any changes. Did your neighbors install this fence? If so, ask them if you can replace it with a new one.
