Pinewood fence that I built, planed, and just put on a coat of Tricopolymer sealer yesterday.
After I planed the wood. I sanded a sample piece and it was really smooth. But the detail of the grain was lost.
So I decided not to sand after I planed it.
I am no professional, so I'm not claiming that tile...But I worked hard building this fence. looks great to me.
If you can measure and use a level then You Can build a fence like this.
Also the tallest part of the pinewood boards is just under 3 feet.
I wanted redwood but it was ugly at both stores near me so I went with pine.
If anyone wants to know the tools I used I can write a list and also take pictures...I know some people like to see the tools and what they might be getting into, not a problem
If more than one person is building the fence it will be much easier and faster..I built it alone
