No names-addresses or embarassment. I drive alot, and I see some horriffic fences. Here's a couple with critiques. I'm clearing off my desktop, so lets use up these photos.
Possibly a beginner fence builder will see this post and learn what they need to know ahead of time.
#1 Beginner error- not enough support. Most carpenters get it-but amateur builders may not get the principal. You can't really blame them. I've seen this design in a few books.
To span 8' you will need the equivilent of about 7-10" of material supporting.
Which means, 2-3 2x4's stood on edge built into the structure. A 2x4
upright--nailed to a 2x4 on the flat equals 5".
I bet this (below) was a really nice looking fence when it was new. Now - a waste of wood.
The new section is actually built on the ground--and has no support either. Same mistake-10 years apart.

The use of vinyl fences is really something that people should consider. Aside from the fact that this help save the environment, this will also add value and beauty to your home.
