"The owner was responsive and timely. We had black chain link fencing installed but some of the latches, etc did not match. When I called the owner he came out promptly and spray painted the parts. Unfortunately, it was raining when his crew was finishing the fence installation and he said that is why it wasn't done earlier. That doesn't explain why they didn't follow up with me and I had to call to request the work be done. Also, several months later I noticed they did not install a bottom rail. I had not specifically requested it, but without a bottom rail the dog can push and wiggle out under the fence, so I believe they should have brought that to my attention. When I called about the problem, I never got a call back, but it was shortly after Hurricane Irma so I know it was a very busy time."

"Great experience with CherkesCo Fencing from start to finish. He showed up on time, removed the old fence, and built a new wooden fence and gate. The work was done professionally, everything looks solid and clean, and the area was left tidy afterward. I’m very happy with the final result and would definitely hire him again."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

When your rolls of silt fence join together, you’ll want to overlap them to make sure they’re still as effective at keeping water out without requiring fastening together. Overlap two sections of the silt fencing so that two sheets of fabric cover the span of two posts. If you want to fasten them together, you can staple them or use a zip tie, depending on whether your posts are metal or wood. 

A stockade fence is a common type of privacy fence. These fences consist primarily of side-by-side boards without any gaps, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone peeking into your property. Stockade-style fences also typically included pointed pickets on top for even more security. Other than these traits, stockade fences come in a wide variety of styles. 

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.

Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.
