In this video, I discuss ten mistakes I made building my picket privacy fence, and how I fixed or mitigated the mistakes. This was the first time I had built a picket fence myself, and while the concept is simple, I learned little things that would make a big difference the next time around. Hopefully by sharing them, someone else will do better. To build my fence, I used 4x4 AC2 Pressure Treated posts, AC2 Pressure Treated 2x3x8's, 1x6x6' AC2 Pressure Treated Pickets, and quick set post cement.

Here are some links for some helpful tools when building a picket fence such as the one I built. Using these links helps this channel.
