Ok, I've got about 200 feet of rotted fencing that the wifey wants to replace. 1/2 is on semi level ground and 1/2 is uphill. A double wide car gate and one or two pedestrian gates. I looked that the pre-made stuff at Home Depot and it seems like its about $12/foot me installing, its not going to work on the slope areas. Had a thought that I could buy a welder and do it myself. Trouble is, I know nothing about welding. I figure its a good way to learn how to do basic welding. I mean its a friggin fence after all. I'd need to buy some kind of welder, I can probably put some metal cutting blade on my chop saw and I can do post holes, concrete, etc. myself. Any of you welders out their ever done this. What else would I need (I think I have access to a welding helmet, the old fashioned kind). Where is the best place to buy welding stuff and wrought iron stuff. I probably wouldn't go for highly decorative.
