"Would 100% use this company again. Best quote I received and quality work. There was a little problem with the bottom rails on the fence. The owner came out immediately and corrected it. They installed a five foot green chain link fence, two gates and bottom rails. My experience was amazing, Attttt customer service. The crew was extremely nice and actually moved to another section of the yard so I could take me dog out."

"I recently hired CherkesCo Fencing to replace all of my fencing, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, reliable, and incredibly hardworking. They arrived on time, communicated clearly throughout the project, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. The new fence looks amazing, is built solidly, and has completely transformed the appearance of my property. The crew worked efficiently while maintaining a high standard of craftsmanship and professionalism. What impressed me most was their dedication to customer satisfaction. They answered all my questions, kept the work area clean, and made the entire process stress-free. It?s clear that they take pride in their work and truly care about delivering excellent results. I highly recommend CherkesCo Fencing to anyone looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and hardworking fencing company. Thank you for an excellent job!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

For a chain link fence, the ideal distance between fence posts is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence.

The standard height for a split rail fence is three or four feet. This height requires two to three horizontal rails, making it ideal for homeowners wanting a budget-friendly split rail fence. If you’re hoping to contain agile livestock or animals like dogs, geese, or goats, you may prefer to install a six-foot tall fence with four or five rails or a four-foot-tall fence with three horizontal rails. This will help prevent animals from climbing, crawling, or jumping through the rails.

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’t have to put in the extra time and cost to prime the surface first. 

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.

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.

The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about 6 to 8 feet between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing.
