We decided to put up a picket fence on both sides. I installed the posts 8 feet apart, digging a 24 inch hole and adding cement. This was no picnic, as the ground turns into rock after about 6 inches. You will also see the trench that I dug around the garden to install the rabbit fence underground.
More trench.
Trench on the south side.
The back side:
And the north side.
Melanie and I put up the picket fence one morning, it took around 3 hours.
Over the "river" leading to Lake Hansen.
While Mel planted the garden, I put up the rabbit fence and filled in the trenches.
Then we painted the fence to match the arbor.
The finished product...

Oooo, it's lovely. And I'm not one for home projects, but that's probably because I don't have a home. Being homeless does that to you.
very nice work. what's next for the yard?
How's it keep the rabbits out?
Dang, Kent! You're a machine. 24-inch-deep holes?!?! We only went down a foot and a half for our fence and that was plenty to put us off fence-building for the remainder of the century.
My rule for home improvement projects has always been: if it requires a saw, it's out of my league. I'm now adding to that rule: if it requires a saw or concrete, it's out of my league.
