How to make a little fence

ok, have you been remodeling your house and have some hardwood floor board left? Well we did, most of them are rejects, some were just left over. So, me and my dad made this little fence around shed in our backyard. It took about 2-3 hours.

Step 1 Tools

Ok, you will need some tools.

Very nicely done. It came out really well. Great use of materials and tools.

Sweet! Look forward to doing this... in my room. :-)

_{Seriously, I'm not kidding.}

That's a very neat job - are you planning to put anything behind the fence? Plant pots, for instance?

If you want to improve the Instructable, maybe break up step two into several steps - I have never used a table saw or a compound mitre saw, and it would have been interesting to see more of the how as well as the result.

Also, did the wood need any treatment to help it survive the elements, or is your second Instructable going to be "How to paint a picket fence"?

_{That is a picket fence, isn't it?}

Thanks, and yes i will plant something behind it. I will paint the fence later on, just haven't done it yet. Yes, it is a picket fence.

Actually, I've never used a nail gun either. I feel deprived.

It could be done with just hand tools. A saw and a mitre box would do the cutting, and a regular old hammer and nails would work for attching. Sure, it's MUCH easier and MUCH faster with the power tools, but they aren't required. Also, I would create a spacer of some sort. Nail up a fence "tine", then hold the spacer next to it, and put up the next fence "tine". Nail it, and repeat.

i forgot to mention that, i did make a spacer, i took two boards and nailed them together.
