Around this time I finally was able to get my hands on some whole fence panels as these things were in short supply. I needed four panels to finish covering the posts that will cover the section of fence going all the way up to the driveway. After hauling the four panels back, I was able to get to work. We moved the first panel into place and began nailing it up. Because things didn't line up as intended I had to use the "tie boards" to provide anchor points at the end of the last fence panel to secure the new fence panel. After getting this panel up the next couple of panels would follow the same route. On the third panel that would be at the end of the line before doing a 90 degree turn for the final section, I ended up having to trim a little more than a foot of the panel since they weren't perfectly lined up with the fence posts. Having to use the tie boards to secure the panels, I ended up having a little more than a foot of panel over hanging. Having cut this free I was able to get the panel lined up the way I needed so I can attach the final panel at the 90 degree angle to finish things up. As can be seen in the last picture, at the corner of the fence panels I had to add some 2x4's to act as filler boards for where the ends met at. This aided in supporting and attaching the ends of the panels together, much in the same way the tie boards helped attach the ends of the boards along the rest of the fence. With everything secured like this, the last panel was attached and the gaps filled in at the corner so as to complete this section of fence.
