Which type of fence lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Galvanized metal, vinyl, and composite fences are known to last the longest out of all types of fences. These fence types will last well over 30 years with proper care. Galvanized metal doesn’t attract pests and has a special coating to better withstand weather. Vinyl and composite materials are pest-resistent and will withstand harsh weather for many years. </p></div>

What alternatives are there for cedar fencing?

• <div><p>When looking at natural wood fences, you have several options other than cedar, namely: pine and redwood. Compared to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/redwood-vs-cedar-fencing.htm">cedar, redwood fencing</a> has a deeper, red-brown color, better durability, and a higher price tag. Pine, on the other hand, is one of the most affordable types of wood for fences, but it requires the most maintenance out of the three and has the shortest lifespan.</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: Does wrought iron fencing require a permit?

• <div><p>Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">Building permits</a> for wrought iron fencing typically cost between <b>$150 and $500</b>, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you&rsquo;re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around <b>$500</b>, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.</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>
