This property line fence was dalabidated and needed a redo from the last one. The more desicive side wanted to keep the solid plywood with 4inch "pickets" despite some attempts to go to true pickets, even board and baton or double sided offset horizontal beams were suggested and denied, to keep the no gap look. Poor access and tight fit due to existing gardens and trees. The gate was initially planned to be replaced but was kept after all leading to a mess of a gate post keeping the original post hole in an existing foundation extension. In hindsight I would have done this part differently had I known I couldn't flush the gate up to the wall and have the plywood paneling proud which would have aligned to the corner panel. Getting the fence done was the priority and the gate was a slight afterthought after the old fence fell between planning and starting the official demo.I failed to get a photo pre demo.

Metal posts, treated lower cross beams, 19/32 panels. 18-24" deep post, at least 90lbs wet set concrete per post. Inconsistent post distance due to trying to offset existing post concrete after digging out the first two and pulling an audible, which lead to some awkward panel joints (2 inches off a post for example.) Pickets to cover metal posts, rain cap and molding to try and protect edges from swelling as well as full painting week after install. Painting and color choice were outsourced.

What should I have done differently?  Cost estimate for demo and rebuild in socal from an actual fence company? Access on either side was 20 foot through a manicured garden or fruit trees.  2' pathway at most.
