Default Experience with Home Depot or Lowe's Wood Fence Purchase/Installation?

We would like to fence in our back yard with 6' x 8' wood fence
panels (I would guess using 4" x4" posts). Wood choices would be
probably white pine, white cedar, red cedar, or redwood for the
panels. The total perimeter is approximately 200 lineal feet. We
would probably need/want two gates. We will probably use either Home
Depot or Lowe's for both product and contracted installation. We
live in Mesa, Arizona, so would only be concerned with heat issues
since we get very little rain and (obviously) no snow or ice.
Overall cost is some consideration.

I would welcome opinions on choice of material as well as any
recommendation of Home Depot vs. Lowe's. I understand that both
companies engage or arrange for independent contractors for
installation.

We're not quite ready to get estimates, so thought I would ask here
first.


Home Depot or Lowes are EXCELLENT places for fence building help.

Just hire the people milling around the parking lot.

Every one of them has probably been involved in dozens of fence-building
projects in the past month.




Worth looking into. Thanks!
