How far apart should posts be for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. </p></div>

Q: Where can you buy wrought iron fencing?

• <div><p>You can buy wrought iron fencing from a trusted fence installation company near you. You could also opt to buy it privately from a homeowner who is interested in recycling their own wrought iron materials. Manufacturers stopped mass production of wrought iron as steel became more affordable to produce, so you likely won't find it in any local big box stores.</p></div>

Q: Should pickets face in or out?

• <div><p>Fence pickets typically face out (away from your home or the garden that you're enclosing). Both the rails and pickets sit on the outside of a fence so that anyone passing by can see the finished side. Not only does the look increase your curb appeal, but it's also the neighborly thing to do when placing a barrier between two properties, even when you're <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/privacy-fence-ideas.htm">installing a privacy fence</a>.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should garden fence posts be?

• <div><p>The distance between fence posts is guided by the terrain you&rsquo;re installing them on, the purpose of the fence, and the material it&rsquo;s made of. For the average wooden garden fence, posts should be about 6 to 8 inches apart. But if you&rsquo;re going with a mesh, wire, lattice, or chain link fence, you could set the fence posts anywhere from 6 to 25 feet apart. </p></div>

Q: What is another alternative to a wood or plastic snow fence?

• <div><p>A living snow fence acts much like a man made snow fence, but is a windbreak of trees, shrubs, and native grasses. It acts much like any snow fence as it controls how snow drifts and blows into specific areas. The plants that make up a living snow fence are often seen along ditches, roads, farms and communities.</p></div>

"I hired him to install the new toilet, take out the old toilet and install the new one because the old toilet was leaking so it was supposed to be two and half hour job and he was about six and half hours trying to install the toilet and when he left, he said that it was installed properly but it was not, the toilet was unstable. That means, when you shook the toilet, it shakes from side to side and it was leaking. So, I had to literally turn the water off and drain the toilet and call another plumbing company who are here now to install it correctly and we reinstalled it correctly. I would not recommend this plumber and service guy to anybody and would also highly recommend Angie to remove him from your list of providers."
