Does your fence need replacing? Or perhaps you don’t yet have a fence at all! This video will encourage you that it’s entirely possible to build a beautiful, sturdy, long-lasting wooden fence on your own! If we can do it, so can you!

Hi, folks – I’m Kim. Welcome to Olive City Oasis, my 2.5 acre Zone 9B property here in beautiful northern California! I know this isn’t a gardening video, but good fences are important to all gardeners and homeowners, and having one built for you is extremely expensive and not always well-done.
In this video, we help you feel confident in taking on this DIY project yourself!

On my channel, I like to emphasize easy gardening anyone can do, simple living garden ideas, and self-care through nature because I believe these things are very important to our physical and emotional well-being. My permaculture mindset has me constantly planting more perennial plants, and my fruit and nut orchard is continually growing, too!
Experimenting in the garden is such fun, and so is using my fruits, veggies, and herbs in the kitchen, so I frequently share simple living garden recipes on my channel. If any of this sounds interesting to you, be sure to subscribe — just click below!

Good advice to get a nice, level fence.
It looks beautiful ❤️
Great advice! And the fence looks gorgeous 😍
I can see the colour of your top matches the fence.
The fence is beautiful. Hallo Jim.
That is true, work is always done well when the sun is not too hot. That is quite some careful work done on the fence.
This is advice you can only get from an expert. I can see It was done with a lot of patience.
That is great advice about getting extra posts.
I did not know that the boards shrink with time, I thought the owners like them that way, with small gaps in between. Lovely fence.
I wish you all a happy summer.👌👌👌❤
Beautiful fence Kim that should last many, many years. Great tutorial 👌
