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: Should I hire a land surveyor before installing a new fence?

• <div><p>It is almost always necessary to <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/land-surveying/">hire a land surveyor near you</a> to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence&mdash;not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.</p></div>

Q: What design options are available for wrought iron fences?

• <div><p>Options include ornamental designs, custom gates, and various finishes. Consult with your installer for customization.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a fence on a setback?

• <div><p>A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor&rsquo;s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback&mdash;some communities recommend this&mdash;but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor&rsquo;s side of your fence.</p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a snow fence?

• <div><p>One of the best alternatives to a snow fence is to plant a living snow fence of grasses, shrubs, trees, and crops like corn. Another temporary option is using hay bales to create a barrier to disrupt the wind flow, and cause snow to accumulate in specific areas. However, hay bales are not a permanent option, so keep that in mind when choosing what type of snow fence you should install.</p></div>
