Can you install a fence on your own?

• <div><p>Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/fence-companies/">hiring a local fence company</a> can mean much less work for you in the long run. </p><p>A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.</p></div>

What additional cost factors should I consider when installing a fence?

• <div><p>In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:</p><ul><li><p>Removing your existing fence</p></li><li><p>Land leveling and other site work</p></li><li><p>Tree and stump removal</p></li><li><p>New landscaping</p></li><li><p>Working around underground utilities</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stain-paint-fence-cost.htm">Painting and staining</a></p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does wrought iron fencing increase your home value?

• <div><p>In most cases, wrought iron fencing will cause your property value to increase. Most types of fence&mdash;but especially high-quality wrought iron fences&mdash;make your home more secure and deter burglars, which adds to property value. Fences can also help keep children and pets safe, which most homebuyers will appreciate. Wrought iron fences are also highly decorative, and while they don&rsquo;t provide much privacy, they do add to your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, which often leads to higher home value.</p></div>

Q: Can I use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you&rsquo;ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn&rsquo;t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You&rsquo;ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. </p></div>

Q: Do I have to tell my neighbor I’m putting up a fence?

• <div><p>While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they&rsquo;re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. </p><p> </p></div>
