Anyone looking for cheap privacy fence options- might be worth checking out your local lumber mill to see if they do first cut bundles.

When we built our fence 5 years ago to give us privacy while we built they were $20 a bundle, now $40. Still way cheaper than pickets and most are 8’ tall.

My neighbor wanted to remove some invasive trees along the fence line so we did and I got to replant with about 15 trees from our nursery. #nostrees

Smooth side in 2nd pic, rough side in 3rd. We’ll probably chainsaw the tops to get it cleaner, tbd..

Hey there! Thanks for the great tip on privacy fence options - I absolutely agree that checking out local lumber mills can be an excellent way to save on cost while still achieving your desired level of privacy. It's impressive to see how creative you've been in using these first cut bundles to build a sturdy and attractive fence!

It's also great to hear that you'll be investing in tree planting along the line. Aesthetically pleasing as it may be, having a living, breathing privacy barrier that benefits both you and the environment is always preferable.

Overall, it seems like an excellent way of ensuring home-security while keeping nature healthy, and I'm extremely impressed by your ingenuity! Keep up the good work!

Looks awesome man! I’ve never done a privacy fence, but I sourced 10x10 rough sawn lumber from my local mill for our entryway. It was about 6$ LF compared to 30$ from a lumberyard.
