The Doggy Garden Fence

Step 4 Building the Frame

You may want to plant your plants before making the fence. It will be eaise to do, it was in my case.

The first step in building the frame is to drive your stakes. That is after you have your measuremets of where you want to drive the stakes. I only drove mine down 6 inches into the dirt. I wanted at least a fence that was 2 ft high.

I used a old 2 ft iron fence piece to help me measure the first few stake placements. You will see it in the pics below.

At this point I used my staple gun to shoot staples through the lattice an into the stakes.

As I went along, after I drove the stakes in the ground, I attached two rows of the horizontal lattice for stability and proper measurements.

Attaching the top piece of horizontal lattice helped me gage my distance between stakes. (see pic 4)

After I had all of the stakes and two levels of horizonatal lattice asseymbled I started placing the 2.5 verticle lattice half way between each stake and drove them 6 inches into the ground ( more stability) Then I used the staple gun and attached them.

I folloed behind that with installing the other two rows of horizontal lattice.

I repeated this until I was finished.

By the way a staple gun is easy and fun to use. Plus it makes short work of your tasks.

On to the next task, the stain.
