taking into account all your variables, you might want to consider buying 6
foot cedar (or other environmentally friendly fence woods) privacy fence
pickets and paying a little extra to have them cut exactly in half...get
some 4" x 4" cedar posts and 2" x 4" rails also, as well as fasteners


I am just now having to replace a cedar mail box post that has rotted
in the ground. If you're sure you're going to get rid of it in 2 years
it doesn't much matter, but if it goes to waste and has to be replaced,
that's not environmentally friendly IMO.
