I'd be getting a killer deal on the fence due to having left over materials from another construction project at my parents property (they're letting me use their extra mat.) but it will still cost me at least $500 in extra lumber/supplies/labor but is it worth this? 

It was a decision based on need because my parents (who own the home) moved in with me so they turned their home into a rental.
