Q: How long will a corrugated metal fence last?

• <div><p>Corrugated metal is a strong, long-lasting material. A corrugated metal fence will typically last several decades, and the metal panels themselves may last for 40 to 60 years. The main thing you should be concerned about is the fence posts. Wood fence posts will last about five years if you purchase them untreated or about 15 years if you treat them after installation. Keep an eye on your posts and look out for insect damage and rot.</p></div>

Q: How do you support a pallet fence?

• <div><p>Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.</p></div>

Q: What is the best inexpensive fence for a garden?

• <div><p>In terms of materials, chicken wire mesh will be the most inexpensive option to use when building your fence. The downside is that it&rsquo;s not the most attractive garden fence option. In a similar vein, you could choose a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-temporary-fence-ideas.htm">DIY fence</a> made out of repurposed items, like car tires, or wooden pallets, either of which would be free to collect. </p></div>

Q: Does a chain-link fence lower the property value?

• <div><p>A chain-link fence does not lower your property value. However, chain links are not the most attractive materials&mdash;so it probably won&rsquo;t raise the value either. If this is a concern, opt for wooden posts to provide visual flair and go with a color coating on your fence. Putting in a functional and attractive gate also helps up your resale value when installing a chain-link fence.</p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>
