"So happy with the entire experience working with First State Fence. Billy is by far THE best contractor I’ve ever used. He was so responsive. He meets every commitment. If he said he would call on Monday he called. If he said he was coming at 10 he was there or called in advance if he was running a little late. First State Fence also gave me the best price. I totally recommend."
"Extremely great people to work with. Owner and crew go above and beyond. Been dealing with this company for quite some time as a contractor and they never disappoint. Amazing communication. Not to mention pricing...."

"Very satisfied with our fence! FDC was easy to work with. Excellent sales presentation, competively priced with an experienced crew that completed the installation in one day. Nice people to do business with."
"After I rejected their initial bid they submitted a modified bid. By that time I hired another company. They were a little slow in sending a proposal, but were courteous in their contact. I would consider them for future projects."
"Max and his team did a very good job. I had them install and finish drywall in an 8 x 19 room. I also had them paint the room. The cost was very reasonable compared to other quotes and the work was professionally done."
"I hired this company to remove a section of chain link fencing from my property. They arrived on scheduled day and time. The removal was completed in a professional and timely manner. They did an excellent job! They made sure I was completely satisfied with their work before they departed."
"Came on the day I called, which was important as it was a roof problem. Got there right at the appointment time and got right to work. Carefully removed the damaged shingle, pulled up nails, scraped out old asphalt, installed new shingle, nailed in place and heated to melt into existing shingles. Very happy with result."
Corrugated metal is a strong, long-lasting material. A corrugated metal fence will typically last several decades, and the metal panels themselves may last for 40 to 60 years. The main thing you should be concerned about is the fence posts. Wood fence posts will last about five years if you purchase them untreated or about 15 years if you treat them after installation. Keep an eye on your posts and look out for insect damage and rot.
The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.
Clean regularly, inspect for damage, and seal or paint wooden fences to protect against weather.
The thickness of a glass fence varies widely based on its application and whether or not there are any safety requirements, but most fences are between 8 millimeters and 12 millimeters thick. 12-millimeter-thick glass is extremely strong and overkill in most cases, which is why you typically only see it around pools and in skyscrapers.
Vinyl and chicken wire are two of the best and most affordable materials for a DIY garden fence. Vinyl is a great option because it is cost-effective, easy to work with, and effective at keeping pests out. A vinyl fence can cost as little as $15 per linear foot, especially if you install it yourself. Chicken wire is even more budget-friendly, costing as little as $2 per linear foot. While chicken wire is more affordable, vinyl is a better choice if privacy is a concern. You can also add chicken wire on top of a vinyl fence for extra security.
