    • Very Comprehensive- Only Book You’ll Need for Fences
Format: Paperback
Very comprehensive. The Fence Bible is very accurate title for this book. Even contains the history of fences. I feel confident that I will be able to make the best fence for my use when I start my project and a lot of the work is done for you by the book. I am impressed 🤯

    • If you have a basic understanding of how to build a fence this is the guide for you.
Format: Paperback
I'm in the process of buying a house with a partial fence half of which is old and requires repair. If you have a basic knowledge of how to build a fence or are mechanically inclined this is the best book for you. If you are a total novice then I would recommend a book that walks you through the process step by step. Don't get me wrong, this book breaks it down but not to the extent of place nails here, place posts here, etc. Hope this helps. RDE ... show more

    • Lovely book. Not sure who it is for.
Format: Paperback
This book has many thoughtful notes and beautiful photos. I don't know who should buy it - landscape designers perhaps? It covers so many types of fences in such little detail, it is not likely to be especially useful to anyone who actually wants to build any particular kind of fence. The most common fence for the majority of North Americans is the "vertical board fence." It gets two pages - yes, two pages - in this 260 page book. On pages 108 and 109 it shows five photographs of tall, solid wooden fences. It discusses no construction details and says little about how one would reproduce the designs in the photos shown. It helpfully mentions "Vertical board fences tend to be... more visible than other fence styles, and thus worthy of careful and thoughtful design." However you are on your own for that design, this book has less to offer than most magazine articles. Wish I had done more research before purchasing. This one is headed for the used book shop. ... show more

    • The only reference book needed to build your own fence
Format: Paperback
I bought several books on the subject, but this was the one I referred to when I fenced my backyard. I had no previous experience, and limited carpentry skills. The book was very helpful and well written. I am very pleased with how my fence turned out, and so are my neighbors. I bought the Boston Differ post-hole digger mentioned in the book as well. Good recommendation for a do-it-yourself-er. ... show more

Very easy to read and basic directions are easy to follow along. Give great context on how to build a lot of different fences. We reference it a lot even when deciding on what type of fence we want to put up.

I bought this as a reference for an upcoming project just to get it and see it was a used public library book. Book itself is very vague and speaks in general applications not as a fence bible but I would have kept it just to save the headache of a return if it wasn’t USED. Do not buy from this seller ... show more
