Northeast Corner Fence

 This corner is the bottom of the yard.  It is the lowest elevation on the property so it gets the voluminous drainage, and the silt accumulation. That also means there is an erosion problem here.  You can see it in the channels that form in the soil.  It has me wondering if I need some drainage control, or maybe a retaining wall.  Also, being the lowest point it accumulates a lot of the yard scraps like leaves, but also literal scraps fence wood mostly.

 This one corner took longer than expected because of the previously mentioned issues.  The ground in this corner is the least flat which makes building a square structure difficult.  One face of the fence here is fairly level, but the other two have different angles.  I pushed the dog boards around until I had fairly good coverage, and then I'll fill in as needed where there are sharp changes in the ground level.

 This is the intermediate process of placing the Bones on the Posts.  I have a need to have a physical barrier right at the ground, the ground critter control, and also to keep Dior from burrowing.  I want to have these Dog Boards sit directly on the ground.  Doing that is a little more difficult in this corner.  I'll have to augment this set of boards with some more "hidden" Dog Boards inside the fence, and maybe partially buried.

 Here I am starting to install the pickets.  This is the first panel where I'm going to start using the Shadowbox Design.  I've noticed a difference in the Shadowbox fence, and the closed fence which is airflow.  The design is for more airflow.  But the difference I've noticed is how I feel working next to a Closed Fence compared to working next to a Shadowbox Fence.  When it is really hot outside you depend on shadows and wind for cooling.  Working next to a closed fence restricts the airflow, so there is a pocket of still air there and you'll sweat a lot more next to a closed fence.

 In this last pic you can see the intended effect of the Shadowbox Fence design.  It is a privacy fence so you want it to block all of the straight line visibility.  But it is also a flow through design where air can pass freely from one side to the other through the fence.  The pickets are staggered in their placement so that the design blocks straight through light, but forms channels through the fence for the air.  This is the intended effect to allow air flow through the fence to prevent high pressure air pockets from developing on either side of the fence.  High Pressure Air pocket next to your closed fence is what breaks posts.  This does not normally occur around your fence except in special situations in which have high speed winds, like spring time thunderstorms.  A fence panel has a lot of surface area.  Then if you combine that with high pressure pockets of air caused by high velocity winds you have post snapping conditions.  So, now that we know this, we can design a fence that can withstand those conditions.
