So pretty soon I am going to have to replace the fence along my back property line. The old one was not maintained by the previous owner and although I have put some good effort to limp it along, i think I got maybe 2 years left in it at most. it is a 6 foot wood privacy fence. It runs the length of my subdivision. So when I replace my part, if I have a choice I would like to match blend it into my neighbors sections. However, mor eimportant to me is that the opposite side is not the easiest to get access to for maintenance. So I am left with a couple options. First of all the "plastic" fences. My problem with them is I have never seen one that was as stable as I know I can make a wood one. Not sure if anyone was any thoughts there.
The other problem I have are the posts. Does anyone make any synthetic material for fence posts? Something that will not rot like the wood. I have not seen anything viable yet (although I have not looked a ton). The last one I built I used standard treated 4x4 posts sunk 2.5 feet into the ground and anchored with a couple bags of concrete. I could to the same thing but I want to fully explore my options first.
