Q: Does a double fence keep deer out?

• <div><p>Yes, a double fence can keep deer out of your yard by using the deer&rsquo;s limited depth perception. For example, a 6-foot tall fence with another 4-foot fence a couple feet from the outer fence makes it look more difficult and unsafe for the deer to jump and land safely. You can even mimic the look of a double fence by using wire or a clothesline.</p></div>

Q: What are common issues with wrought iron fences?

• <div><p>Rust, bent or broken bars, loose posts, and weakened welds are common problems that require repair to maintain security and appearance.</p></div>

Q: How do pros ensure long-term fence stability?

• <div><p>By securing posts deeply and ensuring proper drainage around foundations.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy wood fence panels or build your own?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually cheaper to buy pre-made fence panels than to build your own. This surprises many people since DIY tasks so often save money. However, large stores don&rsquo;t have to pay the same amount per board of wood that homeowners do, allowing them to sell pre-made panels at a more cost-effective rate. Pre-made panels also save a great deal of time, energy, and guesswork. The drawback is that they are harder to customize to the shape and slope of your yard.</p></div>
