Q: Does home insurance cover fencing repair and replacement?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-home-insurance-cover-fences.htm">Home insurance policies may cover</a> fencing repair and replacement costs if the damage is caused by covered causes of loss, such as a storm, fire, or vandalism. However, natural wear and tear and damage caused by owner negligence and insufficient maintenance are not covered. The same goes for damage caused by improper installation. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to inform my neighbor I’m building a new fence?

• <div><p>Most homeowners don't need to inform their neighbors before constructing a fence, according to the law, but you will need to make sure that you&rsquo;re building on the property line or on your side of the property line. Otherwise, the neighbor could complain, which would require you to tear down and reinstall the fence. In any case, keeping them in the loop is the neighborly thing to do!</p><p>Whether you inform your neighbors or not, always use property records and a land survey to ensure your fence stays within your property boundaries.</p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</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>
