"I contracted with Straight Line Fencing to build 130 feet of 6ft. cedar privacy fence while I was out of state. Communication with Mickey was clear and professional. He was able to build exactly to my specification and comply with city code requirements, with the build complete in 2 days. I arrived at my home to see an absolutely beautiful new fence! The quality of the wood and the work is outstanding, and Mickey is a perfect gentleman. Thank you Straight Line Fencing!"

"The fence looks great. They were great to work with, willing to make changes to original plan, which did take a little extra time. They took a break in the middle of my job to go do another one that "needed to take priority". There were several things left incomplete such as pipe ends extending beyond a corner creating injury hazard for my horses, post wrapped with fencing not removed, again an injury hazard (one horse did get injured), some debris to clean up. There were several sections where the dog fencing was not attached to posts. Most items were relatively minor, still it added up to several hours of additional work I had to find someone else to do."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A split rail fence is not typically considered among types of dog fencing. Many dogs are small enough to slip out between or under rails, and dangerous pests like coyotes can slip in. However, adding wire mesh to a split rail fence can add the security needed for dog safety without compromising the timeless look that makes the split rail style appealing.

Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool.

The average cost to install a wrought iron fence is around $3,150, with typical project costs ranging from $470 to $10,500. The final price can vary significantly based on several factors, including the fence's total length and height, design complexity, metal thickness, and your property's topography.

For materials alone, you can expect to pay around $25 to $35 per linear foot. When including installation, the cost is typically between $50 and $70 per linear foot.

Additional factors that can influence the total cost include:

  • Custom designs, decorative flourishes, gates, and columns

  • Labor costs in your area

  • The need for permits

  • Land preparation, such as old fence removal, tree or bush clearing, and land grading

For an accurate estimate, it is best to consult a professional fence installer with the specific measurements and design requirements for your project.

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.

The most common height of a front yard fence is around 3 feet high, but it can vary depending on your zoning laws. If your fence is meant to create privacy, something closer to 6 feet or higher will do the trick. Most of the time, the highest fence you’ll see is 8 feet tall.
