Backyard Fence

The goal of this project is to buy and install a backyard fence at home; a well-designed fence adds aesthetic and safety value to a home. It provides protection and privacy to property. Fences perform many functions, the two most popular are privacy and protection. In this project, the two aspects of privacy and protection will be the main concern, which will be achieved by working on the height and degree of transparency. Taller fences provide a higher degree of privacy and protection, but taller fences can also create too much of a closed-in feeling. Lattice and thin pickets are decorative and attractive but provide much less privacy than closely spaced 1 x 6 inch boards. This project will concentrate on making the deigns fall into the three to four or six to eight foot height categories. but at the same time follow any municipalities that might have regulations governing height and in some cases style. 

Proposed budget

The project budget will involve all the expenditure that will be incurred during the project duration. The Estimate costs for project design, development, delivery, the cost will later be compared with actual costs incurred. The estimated cost of this project is dollars.

Project schedule

The project will start on30th November to 15th December. 2 people will be involved with the project. The measurements to Determine the height of the fence is the first activity of the project and it will take close to 8 hours to finish. Setting up the end posts will involve digging holes all around the perimeter of the backyard and will take 13 hours to finish. The next activity will involve plumbing the holes, and packing the backfill around all of the posts firmly, this will probably take another 10 hours. Finally the finished fence will be painted with a good quality waterproof sealer. Painting will involve scrubbing the surface and waiting for it to dry for a whole day before painting which will take approximately 4 hours.

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

The materials required for the successful completion of the project will involve the wood for fencing in this case White Oak is a tough, hardy wood; it weathers well and stays strong. It also absorbs paint well.

Concrete is used to ensure that posts are held firmly place, a 30 inch concrete will ensure the posts are held firmly in place.

The best paint to be use will be the high quality acrylic (latex) wood stain. Because the posts are buried in the ground, there will always be an issue of moisture in the wood. a latex paint or stain film is micro-porous.

Estimated cost is based on accurate information for cost of materials & labour, allowing for any unforeseen variable, estimates the cost of the total job by the cost of materials, the number of man-hours it will take to do the job, and the amount of equipment necessary. That would fall into the cost planning category. The actual cost is what the materials will actually cost when locked in the price upon placing the order, the actual man-hours it will take to complete the job. Hopefully the difference will be higher on the estimated cost and lower on actual but might not work out that way. Finances will be monitored enough to keeping costs under control and hopefully under budget by locking in prices at the right and making sure workers aren't wasting materials by making the wrong cuts, etc
