Has anyone built there own front fence??

We are nearly at the end of our build and are considering building our own front fence so we can build exactly what we want and save a bit of money. Has anyone else done this? Also does anyone know how deep the holes have to be for a 1.2mtr fence.
Thanks

Yep we have, using that guide in TDL's link. We had never done anything like it before and I think we did a pretty good job myself (it's still standing 11 years on), although we did have my sister on hand who had built several fences before. Just make sure that you don't skimp on quality materials though. We used treated pine, but it wasn't the best (couldn't convince DH to use the fineline pine) and the cross rails have warped a little over time.

BTW I was 8 months pregnant with second child at the time and did all the pickets myself, running in and out of the house during breaks in the rain...so if I can do it, any one can!

Up to 1.2 meters, hole should be 450mm deep minimum, up to 1.8 meters, hole should be 600mm deep minimum.

That being said, make them 600mm deep anyway if the digging in not to hard, even if it is, dig what you can, fill the hole with water and let it soak, when the water is gone, continue digging.
