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.

Wayne, it's highly dependant on your area for which would be best. Really.
Lowes in my area happens to be decent and i've had bad luck with Home Depot,
but I do know come carpet time, Home Depot has better installers than my
local Lowes.

The price is apt to be really close between the 2 with Lowes possibly being
just a hair cheaper.

I have my fence work from a local fellow, not associated with either. Dunno
waht wood is best.
