    Basically the same way as a picket fence, but instead of putting up one at a time you'll be installing a full section at a time.
  • Question
    Which side of the fence should be placed inside my property and which side should face my neighbor?
    Community Answer
    The nicer side goes toward the neighbor and the post side to your yard. It's the same with chain link: the posts are on your side of the fence if it belongs to you.

    How much cement do I use, and how deep should the hole be?
    Community Answer
    Use a bag and a half of cement for each post. The hole should be 3 feet deep for a 6 foot high fence.

    Wouldn't I want the nicer side toward my yard?

    You could, but then your fence becomes very easy to scale if someone wants to get in.
