Step 1: Project overview.
This western red cedar fencing is built using two 8-foot 4 X 4s as posts. Two 2 X 4s have dado slots cut to receive 3/4-inch tongue-and-groove boards, which are cut from 8-foot lengths. The two 4 X 4 posts have dado slots cut into them, as well, which will secure the boards. The lattice top is made from 3/4-inch X 1 1/2-inch stock ripped from a 6-foot length of 1 X 6.
Western red cedar was chosen for its naturally resistant properties.
