Can you build a stockade fence yourself?

• <div><p>You can DIY a stockade fence installation, but prepare to put in some good sweat equity. For the best results, carefully plan the exact location of your fence before you break ground. In particular, carefully map out your post locations before setting them in concrete. Be sure to call your local utility company before digging to avoid damaging underground wiring and causing severe injury.</p><p>On the other hand, installing stockade fencing on your own might sound too overwhelming. It’s certainly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides the hard work, you must install it properly to avoid gaps. Unless you’re confident you can get the job done right, <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-privacy-fencing/">hiring a privacy fence installer near you</a> is the way to go.</p></div>

How long do wire fences last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of wire fencing heavily depends on factors like gauge, material, coating type, and environmental conditions. However, with proper maintenance, many wire fences last for <b>20 to 30 years</b>.<b> </b>Coastal areas or regions with high rainfall may see reduced lifespans of <b>10 to 15 years </b>due to increased corrosion risk. </p></div>

Q: Can you make changes to your neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can only change your neighbor's fence with their permission. A neighbor's fence is their property, and altering it without their consent could constitute trespassing or property damage, which may have legal consequences. If you have concerns or disagreements about your neighbor's fence, communicate with them openly and try to reach a mutually agreeable solution. If you believe the fence violates local zoning laws or property regulations, consult with local authorities or seek legal advice to address the issue through proper channels. </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>

Q: What is the average height of a fence?

• <div><p>Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.</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.
