Brenda (@thenicehome_diy) is DIYer who loves sharing her projects and designs on Instagram.
In a recent video, she revealed how she built her own 8-by-6-foot privacy fence for under $300.
First, she hit The Home Depot to pick up supplies, including fence posts, pressure-treated slats, two types of wood stain and sealer, screws, and a paint roller and tray.
“This privacy fence is super easy!” she told her followers.

“You just need a drill and impact driver for power tools, you can get your 4x4 posts cut at The Home Depot.”
Because Brenda did all the work herself, she only had to pay for the materials, which totaled under $300.
She attached the fence to her existing patio with brackets and screws, so she did not need to sink her posts into holes with concrete.
What’s more, the tined stain sealer gave her finished fence a stylish, chic look.

Another chimed in: “I love the way this project turned out.”
PRICING UP PRIVACY
The overall cost of installing a privacy fence will depend on the height and size, location, and your choice of additional features like decorative elements or a gate.
Another homeowner, TikTok user @e_mi11y_j, recently shared how she built a backyard fence for her pitbull using supplies from Lowe’s.
At the store, she was able to cut the wood to the exact size she wanted.
The dog-lover even added a gate so her pooch could come in and out.
In the comments of her video, she told one fan the total cost was “probably just under $300.”
Many stores are also selling ready-to-go privacy fences that can make installation a breeze.
