This video shows how I built a solid-wood painted picket fence around our yard. It's made from pressure-treated lumber and painted with a solid color exterior stain to match our home. The post caps are custom built to add a decorative element to the project and to keep it within our budget. It's a great spring or summer project for the beginning DIYer or seasoned woodworker. I got the whole family involved and it was a fun project.
