3. Nice advice, but from my own experience there is a bit more to it. Unlesss the fence is straight in all respects it won't look good. A line is required to keep the length of the fence straight. The posts are easier to get right if the correct spirit level is used which measures two faces of the post at the same time. The panels need to be either all at the same level or to change level in equal steps. Also the top of each panel needs to be checked by spirit level to make sure it is in line. End caps keep the rain out of the 'open' grain end of the posts, and only cost about 60p each for basic ones. It is safer for inexperienced installers to fix the fence post/panel/post/panel rather than setting all the posts first and then finding the panels do not fit. Posts set in concrete will probably last considerably longer.
