for completely wet boards build it tight, with no spaces between boads ... when it dries it will have gaps and they will fill in with the rain but the fence will not warp. You have to judge how wet the wood it ... measure the width of the boards you have and the width of a fully soaked board (place in bucket for 2 hours) and the width of a dry board ... then gap the fence accordingly.

Caring For a Wooden Fence?
You�ve invested in a wood fence. Keeping it looking warm and beautiful requires care and maintenance. The two biggest threats to your fence are wet and dry rot. Wet rot is caused when moisture meets the wood, for example where the post is inserted into the ground. Dry rot happens when wood loses its natural, protective oils causing the wood to dry out and crack. Staining a fence will protect it against both types of rot. Use a quality, linseed oil based stain. Staining once year ensures this protective coat remains tough enough to protect your fence from the elements.
