Salvaged Picket Fence

If you’re lucky enough to get your hands on salvaged fencing, you can have a beautiful fence for a fraction of the cost. This picket fence by @fisherdesigncompany actually came from a nearby farmhouse being torn down. A fresh coat of paint is all it needed!

You can also build your own picket fence with scrap wood from other projects. Check every board for nails and screws, then give them a good sanding before assembling your fence.

Corrugated Metal Fence

Corrugated metal is a budget-friendly fencing material that resists rust and weathering. This eight-foot sheet of corrugated metal only costs $28!

Plus, we love the look, especially when combined with stained wood, as shown here with this modern farmhouse fence by @mycountrylife_idaho. Remember the higher the gauge, the thinner the metal, so 27 to 29 gauge is suitably strong for fencing.

These DIY planters featuring corrugated metal would also look great in any yard.

Horizontal Plank Fence

This DIY pool fence built by @the_handy_fireman features pressure treated 4×4 posts ($18 each) painted in exterior weather-resistant black paint, plus horizontal cedar planks ($9 per eight-foot board) finished in a UV-protection oil. The one-inch-thick cedar boards were milled down to 1/2-inch, creating two boards for the price of one while achieving a more modern look.
