I've been wanting to build a privacy fence around our backyard for a little while. Recently, I acquired a source for cedar wood cutouts (1x6, by 2 feet), that could be used instead of full 1x6x6 planks.

I'm looking for ideas for how I could build a fence with these 2 feet cutouts.

I ran into this design, which is pretty good, but wanted to know if anyone else had seen something different that could be done as well.

Just curious here. Are the "cutouts" simply the scrap from other projects? If so, then that is a really cool idea, but if not, then aren't you using more wood to create the same fence due to all the extra wood needed to support all the small pieces?

2 foot long cuts would make a fairly tight formation for the vertical supports. I wonder if you could use these somewhere else because you would be using extra materials just to create the vertical support.

Now if all this is reclaimed wood, I would say, its a different story and a really good use of scrap materials.
