What’s the easiest way to replace a fence post?

• <div><p>There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.</p><p>Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.</p></div>

Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</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: Is it better to nail or screw fence pickets?

• <div><p>Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">type of wood fencing</a> and the variety of wood you choose.</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>

Tom's work is impeccable. Quality work, excellent bang for the buck. Tom was excellent at communicating, and was on the job site when he said would be there. Fortress fence is dependable, and best priced for us. We'll be using fortress fence for the rest of the work on our property.
