How do you keep a horizontal fence from sagging?

• <div><p>Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">fence materials</a>. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts. </p></div>

Q: How long does Trex fencing last?

• <div><p>Because this composite fencing and deck material is made from both wood and plastic, it&rsquo;s more durable than either alone. It&rsquo;s so popular for outdoor purposes because it really does stand the test of time. Heavy rain and high heat won&rsquo;t greatly change its structural integrity; it can last up to 25 years in total with proper care.</p></div>

Q: How long does fence installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 2-5 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wood fence?

• <div><p>Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a fence over a gas line?

• <div><p>You can sometimes install a fence over a gas line. Fence installation typically requires a two-foot depth for posts, so if the lines are shallower than two feet, you cannot put a fence post over the line. You&rsquo;ll need to call 811 to get the gas lines located and marked before you start the project.</p></div>
