What is the best type of fence for my pet?

• <div><p>Determining the best type of fence to contain your pet can be tricky. Consult a pet fence installer and consider the following questions:</p><ul><li><p><b>What size pet do you have?</b> Some fence types, like chain link, are too short to contain large dogs.</p></li><li><p><b>Is digging an issue?</b> Some fences, like brick or stone, help minimize digging at the fence line, where wood fences aren’t as adequate. </p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to block your pet’s view of the neighbor's yard?</b> Some fences, like metal iron fencing and chain link, don’t offer an obstructed view. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</p></div>

Q: Does home insurance cover fencing repair and replacement?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-home-insurance-cover-fences.htm">Home insurance policies may cover</a> fencing repair and replacement costs if the damage is caused by covered causes of loss, such as a storm, fire, or vandalism. However, natural wear and tear and damage caused by owner negligence and insufficient maintenance are not covered. The same goes for damage caused by improper installation. </p></div>

Q: What gauge is hog wire fencing?

• <div><p>The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire. </p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for paying for a fence?

• <div><p>If you decide to add a fence that will border your neighbor&rsquo;s property, you should let them know in advance&mdash;but you can&rsquo;t make your neighbor pay for the fence. In some locations, like California, you both might be responsible for<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fence.htm"> fence repair costs</a> or maintenance unless other documented agreements are made.</p></div>

He was on time and professional. He cleaned both of our fireplaces and cleaned up afterwards. We were renters at the time and now own our own home and will call him again. We need a new fence as well and thinking about calling him for an estimate.

They are very good with animals. They are very expensive. My dog has cataracts on her eyes, so I asked how much it cost to remove it and I was told $1500. I thought it was outrageous.
