After the lot was preped, the next step was to install the new fence. We tried to gather donations for equipment, concrete, lumber, etc. The old 8' tall chain link fence was torn down and resold as scrap (thanks to Craigslist... got a whopping $20) and a new wood fence was erected in its place. Since we were dividing an existing lot in half we had to add a fence between the tenant's yard and the new garden space. The other 2 sides of the lot were thankfully already fenced.
With the use of some donated/borrowed equipment they were able get the post holes dug quickly. We used treated lumber for the posts. The fence is a 1x6 cedar fencing and looks beautiful. To date we have the tenant portion fenced off but are still looking for volunteers to help with the last section of fencing and a few people to help seal the wood.
