- Wooden Fences
- by George Nash, James P. Blair
George Nash describes the many types of wooden fencing & recommends certain kinds of wood (all common hardwoods, he says, are generally unsuitable, as they swell, warp, & rot too easily). He also tells how to apply for a building permit, develop a site plan, establish the level line, lay out, build, & maintain all the parts of the fence. It's one of the best references available on the subject, & certainly the most beautiful.
