How do you stabilize a fence post?

• <div><p>Concrete is one of the easiest, most cost-efficient, and most effective ways to stabilize a fence post. To stabilize a fence post with concrete, you’ll dig a hole around the post in question and fill it up with concrete—easy as that. Concrete lasts about 50 years on average, so it’s a long-term solution.</p></div>

Q: How deep do aluminum fence posts need to be?

• <div><p>When it comes to aluminum fence post depth, the posts should typically be about one-third of the length of the fence post deep into the ground. However, it's always best to check with your fencing manufacturer's recommendations to ensure you install it at the recommended depth for stability.</p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to paint or stain a fence?

• <div><p>Staining a fence is less expensive than painting a fence due to the cost of materials and the longevity of the finish. Stain not only lasts longer than paint without chipping or peeling, but you also won&rsquo;t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. </p></div>

Q: Am I responsible for fence repairs or is my neighbor?

• <div><p>It depends on the side of the property the fence falls on when determining if you or your neighbor share the responsibility for the fence repair. However, many fences run along the property line, which means you and your neighbor <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-owns-shared-fence.htm">share the fence</a>, and you&rsquo;re both responsible for repairs and can likely split the costs.</p></div>

Q: How deep should I set shadowbox fence posts?

• <div><p>Post depth for shadowbox fences should be at least two feet deep plus an additional foot for every foot of fence height above four feet. For a standard six-foot fence, this means a minimum depth of 3 feet. This depth helps to protect the structural integrity of your fence in the face of wind, soil movement, and seasonal ground shifts </p></div>

Prompt to respond and schedule the job. Hard to pin down an arrival time but good work when he did arrive. He put new post caps on our fence. He did a good job, using a level to make sure they were on straight, all but one. It’s very crooked and will need to be redone. Pleasant and helpful....

I am happy with the work. There were paint drips on my stained stamped concrete. Mr. Dixon offered to clean it up after I brought it to his attention, but I elected to do the clean up myself. Also, his workers removed my rattle snake fencing but I also opted to re-install it myself.
