"From initial contact to completion the job was handled professionally and efficiently. The job included clearing the remnants of an old wooden fence and lots of debris from around an in-ground pool and installing a new 4' chain link fence to meet current code. Great communication. Showed up every time promised, and even returned to meet the inspector's request to lessen the gap between the gate and post. A pleasure to deal with. I would use them again and recommend them highly."

"It has been a pleasure to work with OPS. The crew worked hard at clearing brush, mulching, seeding and removing poison ivy. They hardly stopped until the job was completed. Their project manager, Greg Dann, organized the schedule and made certain that everything was done to my satisfaction, even stopping by later to check on the crew's work."

"Haven did a superb job! He made 8 banisters much more secure by installing brackets and rosettes. He used his expertise, experience and all the right tools. He has a variety of tools that made the job easier and quicker. He touched up the paint where it needed it. He then secured the trim on 2 doorways and trimmed a piece on the spa. Very flexible, good natured, accommodated our schedule and was very knowledgeable! I?m having him come back in the spring to correct more things!! Best of the best!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

No, fence posts aren’t always set in concrete. If you don’t want to use concrete footings for your posts, expanding foam is a popular alternative. Expanding foam and concrete each have certain pros and cons. For instance, foam is easier to install and more sustainable, but concrete is sturdier and less expensive.

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

In terms of materials, chicken wire mesh will be the most inexpensive option to use when building your fence. The downside is that it’s not the most attractive garden fence option. In a similar vein, you could choose a DIY fence made out of repurposed items, like car tires, or wooden pallets, either of which would be free to collect. 

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. 

The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.
