Horizontal slat fence provides privacy and structure to a farm. The board-by-board construction of the slat fence gives you a custom look and a strong, long-lasting fence. This is a do-it-yourself project you can complete over a weekend. Focus on building a solid foundation for each fence post; and the hanging slats become the simple, pleasant part of the process.

Instructions
Measure the circumference of the intended enclosure area with a measuring tape. Divide each side of the fence by six to eight feet to count the amount of distance that should exist between each fence post.
