Almost Finished Fence

With only one small problem the rest of the fence is now finished and the entire backyard is enclosed. This section went up even faster than the first since i knew exactly what i was doing. I realized that i didn't have to install all the carriage bolts before putting up the slats. The carriage bolts are what hold the posts to the metal footings more securely than the 4 screws that i put in to start with.

On the corner by the driveway i was even able to bevel cut the piece so that you have a nice smooth corner.

So the entire fence is finished with wood installation. Only thing left is to put on a coat of waterproofing and a few more carriage bolts.

Next up is the gate!

And i need to decide if i want to put some 4" boards to cover up some or all of the metal footings.
