When the fence was installed originally the posts and fence were done at a 4 ft height....I don't know why. The posts are very solid and in very good shape. The panels are typical pre-built panels and are in terrible shape.

I know there's a few methods such as cutting a notch into the old and new post and bolting or screwing them together.

I'm wondering what the best method aside from replacing the posts is.

While were on the subject what's the thoughts on prebuilt panels from says Lowe's? I think they are poorly made and for the cost I can get the materials to make my own rails and pickets and end up with a better more solid panel.

Hi everyone, could anyone link me to a fence that could perhaps go behind a smaller picket fence, I have a old reactive dog in a yard that is right on the sidewalk. I would like to keep neighbors comfortable with something that was a little taller. I am a renter, so I can't take the picket fence down, and it is a smaller yard, so buffers and another fence further away from it, may not create enough space for my pooch! Any suggestion would be helpful, my knowledge goes about as far as the cheap privacy bamboo. I don't mind spending too much money. It just doesnt need to be too alarming to my landlord. Thank you!

We moved into our house a while ago and one thing that keeps bothering is how exposed our backyard feels. Our neighbors windows look directly into our yard so it is hard to spend some time outside without worrying about anyone. I thought about planting trees but that will take years to grow to cover everything. Now I am thinking of getting a vinyl or block fence installation but not sure if that is the suitable option. What worked well for you and is there anything that I am missing before making a decision?
