post hole digger, level, circular saw, drill, measuring tapeHow to DIY an 8 foot horizontal board on board cap and trim fence (with fence gates)! I easily saved $$$ and built my own fence like a PRO. More info: This fence is about 200 linear feet and after digging the holes with help, the project took me about 2 weeks completely working alone (sorry for leaving that info out of the video!) I helped Pete do about the same distance on his fence and together, we knocked out all of the framing and started pickets in one day... so having a helper goes much faster!
