Wow! Thanks for all the replies.

The fence, at this point, will be used to close-off the head of a driveway, with a gate in the middle.

As for actually holding animals in, probably not so it is more important to be good looking than functional.

Good catch and suggestions on the nails and their source. The fence will be white. The tops will either be cut at a diagonal or diamond.

I don't think driving the posts in will be practical so post holes will have to be dug. I was told to make them more narrow (smaller) than larger. I was planning to cover the below ground ends with an automotive spray undecoating.

Keep your ideas and suggestions coming. This is very helpful.
