There’s about a 15’-20’ gap in my fence that the previous owners never finished. It’s on both sides where the fence would meet up with the house. Normally it wouldn’t bother me but I’d like a safe enclosed space for my dog to run around in.

Anything specific I should know or keep an eye out for as I’m doing this project?

Yep! Planning on doing that before I go buy my parts.

Now I’m curious, did they run out of money or is there some other reason it wasn’t finished…

Have no clue. It looks like they just stopped? There was a gate over behind some scrap tin they left that I was able to get on. As well as a long top support pole that covers most of the length.

Honestly I’m sort of glad they didn’t, looking at a some of their other diy projects lmao.

Sounds like you are going to have to sink some posts. Definitely use a level when you go to cement it in. If your fence is prefab you’ll be able to buy sections at the hardware store if you don’t already have them.
