Unfortunately the content of Mr Freudenberger's book matches neither his title nor sub-title: "how to design and build them from the ground up." Instead it is a near -coffee table book about fences. Most of the content and photos are lovely in this context.
As an example of the un-evenness of the text, there were six pages of photos and detailed explanation (in 30 discrete steps) for setting up a basic wood fence. In contrast, building a wire fence got a very cryptic half page, no illustrations and not a single enumerated step.
So all in all, a pretty book, but just barely a D+ grade. By the way, it is so much the opposite of George Martin's book on fences that it is worth looking at them next to each other.
