Creating Your Privacy Fence in less than a day!

Initial reservations about adding a fence can be understood, yet the outcome can be extraordinary. This privacy fence beautifully complements the jacuzzi area and is surprisingly easy to set up. The credit goes to the innovative Hoft Solutions system, backed by Soo Mill's expert guidance. The installation process is smooth, and they are thrilled to be your virtual mentors.

Step 1: Secure Installation with Sturdy Fence Posts

The foundation is key. Start by setting up the fence posts, a fundamental step. The provided instructions recommend post-mounting. Depending on your setup, you can attach them to 2x6s beneath the decking, fix them to a concrete pad, or embed them in footings. Keep a spacing of approximately 6 feet between posts.

Step 2: Optimal Choices for Wood

For the main panels, consider 12-foot 1x6 cedar boards combined with Hoft Solutions' inventive posts. Flexibility reigns supreme here – you can choose between cedar wood or composite decking to match your preferred style.

Frequently asked: "Did you seal the wood?" Cedar's inherent resilience to outdoor elements means you do not need to.

Step 3: Effortless Assembly Process

Now, the gratifying part arrives. Cut your chosen wood to size and begin assembly. Spacer, wood board, spacer, wood board – this rhythmic pattern is the core of the assembly process.

Hoft Solutions' spacers streamline the experience, allowing the boards to effortlessly slide into place. It's a straightforward process suitable for all skill levels.

Step 4: Elevate with Versatile Accessories

Elevate both function and appearance by incorporating Hoft Solutions' accessories such as self, planters, and hooks. These seamlessly slide and lock between the wooden boards, providing you with the flexibility to arrange and rearrange your space as you wish.

In less than a day, you can construct a privacy fence without sacrificing style. The Hoft Solutions system, conveniently available at Soo Mill can help simplify the journey, making it accessible for beginners and experienced DIY enthusiasts alike. The option to choose between cedar wood and composite decking offers a canvas for creativity, and the robust construction guarantees a lasting addition to your outdoor space.
