Cheap/economical fence ideas
I need to install fences on several properties with huge land sizes.
The purpose of the fences are to increase security and privacy. These properties have designer interiors so I would like to try to maintain the integrity of the aesthetics on the outside also.
I have been trying to find cheaper fencing options and wanted to ask if anyone has found a great solution for fences and gates on a budget?
Even buying second hand materials would fine.

@ Nat Chan, is this for Miami? If so check with the city before you attempt to piggy back wood planks over existing metal posts.
After hurricane Andrew most of Dade County and surrounding cities have newer much stricter fence code, you can't put planks over chain linked fences because those do not block wind, putting wood panels and planks over them changes that. Most likely you would be required to install 4x4 PT lumber posts spaced no more then 4' apart and each post embedded a minimum of 18" into a hole anchored with concrete.
