How tall should my garden fence be?

• <div><p>The height of your garden fence depends on your goals and priorities. Do you need to keep rabbits out? Then you’ll need at least two feet in height to do so. Is it more of a privacy fence? For that, you’ll want to construct something at least 7 feet tall so that there’s little chance anyone can see over the fence. Some garden fences are purely decorative, in which case the height is up to you. </p></div>

Q: What does it mean when a fence is wobbly?

• <div><p>A wobbly fence can be caused by a number of things, though poor installation is the usual culprit. It&rsquo;s always best to have your fence installed by a professional who can ensure the posts are placed correctly and that the chain links have the correct amount of tension. </p></div>

Q: What is the most common type of wood used to build a fence?

• <div><p>The most common type of wood fence is a simple side-by-side fence made of cedar or pressure-treated wood. These have a classic design that can match almost any outdoor style and are commonly found in most hardwood stores.</p></div>

Q: How to clean a wood fence without pressure washing?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a pressure washer or simply don&rsquo;t want to lug it out of storage, you can spot-clean your wood fence with a garden hose instead. Apply your mild detergent with a soft cloth, scrub with a broom or other soft-bristled brush, and rinse with a garden hose.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should fence posts be?

• <div><p>The distance between fence posts depends on the type of fence you&rsquo;re installing. Wood and metal fence posts should be between 5 feet and 8 feet apart. Chain-link fence posts can be closer together at 4 feet apart, or the spacing can be up to 10 feet apart. Vinyl fence posts can be between 6 feet and 8 feet apart, and wire fence posts can be up to 12 feet apart.</p></div>
