How far apart should posts be for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. </p></div>

What is the best type of fence for my pet?

• <div><p>Determining the best type of fence to contain your pet can be tricky. Consult a pet fence installer and consider the following questions:</p><ul><li><p><b>What size pet do you have?</b> Some fence types, like chain link, are too short to contain large dogs.</p></li><li><p><b>Is digging an issue?</b> Some fences, like brick or stone, help minimize digging at the fence line, where wood fences aren’t as adequate. </p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to block your pet’s view of the neighbor's yard?</b> Some fences, like metal iron fencing and chain link, don’t offer an obstructed view. </p></li></ul><p></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>

Q: What's the best under-gate dog barrier?

• <div><p>The best under-gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-fence-option-keep-your-dog-safe.htm">dog barrier</a> is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.</p></div>

Q: Do snow fences really work?

• <div><p>Snow fences work well when they are correctly installed. This snow tool disrupts the wind flow and reduces the amount of snowdrift in specific areas, such as roads, walkways, and buildings. Of course, the effectiveness of the snow fence depends on various factors, such as fence type, height, and wind patterns.</p></div>

I have hired Bettencourt Builders several times at my old house and new house. I have also referred them to my family members and friends who have also used them. Work is excellent and will definitely use again.

DID A GREAT JOB & PROVIDED EXCELLENT TRAINING FOR OUR DOG. THE YARD WAS NOT HARMED. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW MUCH IT COST, BUT IT WAS APPROXIMATELY $1000 AND WELL WORTH IT. MY DOG LOVES BEING ABLE TO RUN AROUND WITHOUT A LEASH.

Patrick was great. He did a magnificent job installing my custom closet and then a few weeks later he came back and hung cabinets in my bathrooms. He was neat, professional, and trustworthy. I’ll definitely have more work for him in the future and would highly recommend him.
