Q: What is a board on board fence?

• <div><p>A board on board fence is a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-fences-pros-cons.htm">type of privacy fence</a> that uses overlapping vertical boards to keep onlookers from seeing into the fenced yard. Typically made of wood, board on board fences are more expensive than other privacy fences because they use more materials and require more complex construction.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should I place shadowbox fence posts?

• <div><p>Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing. </p></div>

Q: How deep should I bury my garden fence?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It&rsquo;s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. </p><p> Burrowing animals (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/voles-vs-moles.htm">voles, moles</a>, rabbits, and gophers) can&rsquo;t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you&rsquo;ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.</p></div>

Q: How deep should I set shadowbox fence posts?

• <div><p>Post depth for shadowbox fences should be at least two feet deep plus an additional foot for every foot of fence height above four feet. For a standard six-foot fence, this means a minimum depth of 3 feet. This depth helps to protect the structural integrity of your fence in the face of wind, soil movement, and seasonal ground shifts </p></div>

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.
