How Do You Build A Wood Basket Weave Fence?
A wood basket weave fence is an aesthetically pleasing fence typically used for privacy as they will block the property from view. The degree of privacy can be varied by changing the height of the fence. These also work well on a sloped terrain as the posts can be raised and lowered. The wood is woven for beauty. Saturate the bottom third of your posts with wood preserver and let sit overnight. Figure out where the fence should be located. Mark off the area with stakes starting at the corners and then spacing them 6 to 8 feet apart.
