"Barkley communicated well during the process of picking out the butcher block countertop and installation. The work was done to our specifications and installed without a hitch. If you are looking for a butcher block countertop, he is your man. I highly recommend!!"

"The Barnes Family Fencing motto is treat you like family and they live up to it well. Got the estimate on the same day I called and his was the lowest. Casey measured and adjusted 4 times to insure I got the fence I was paying for and wouldn’t dig the first hole till I was satisfied. Quality of the fence is top notch! Very satisfied with Barnes Family Fencing. I felt like I had hired my favorite cousin to install my fence."

"These guys are amazing. They did have to push the install back 2 days due to vehicle maintenance issue. However, the timely communication from them was outstanding. I am 100% satisfied with their work and the fact that due to the minor delay, they brought in more workers to complete a two day job in just one day."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Of all the fencing options, the cheapest type is a repurposed pallet fence because it’s made of used materials that are easy to find for free. But if you’re not interested in the DIY game, customize a covered chain link fence or a plain wood fence to provide the best privacy possible.

Green branches are more flexible and easier to work with, but they'll shrink as they dry, which can loosen your fence weave over time—so you'll need to weave them extra tight to account for shrinkage. Some species, particularly willow, may also try to sprout when used green. For these reasons, it’s typically easiest to use branches that have dried for a week or two.

There’s no definitive answer to this question because dog owners and experts are conflicted about the efficacy and morality of electric fences. However, physical fences are typically considered a better option since they provide guaranteed containment for your pup, provided they are tall enough, and your dog can’t dig under them. Physical fences can also provide privacy, which might stop your dog from barking at people or animals walking by. Physical dog fences tend to be more expensive, but most homeowners find them to be a better option overall.

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.
