We received a quote for $8,000 to fence in our backyard, so I took the task on myself. We wanted an open, hog wire style fence. I decided a dado groove/picture frame method would be the easiest route to take for construction. I constructed most "picture frames" ahead of time so installation only took 2 days. You can use this method with any rigid wire panel (hog wire, horse wire). This method was great for our irregularly shaped and sloped backyard. Overall, this fence was a fun learning experience!
