I'm thinking 4x4" posts and pressure-treated 2x4s, with three rails

possible (that way I can fasten the mesh to it without needing to
dig it into the ground, but I can always bury cheap chicken wire
right at the bottom later if the dogs work out how to dig
underneath).


Put a post a foot or so from the house, and instead of having the
rail terminate at the post (like the other rails), allow it to
extend past the rail to a small distance (maybe a 1/2") from the
house. Fasten the pickets onto the rails as normal.

Nice post Jon...


Well thank you for that, I try!
