"I had the fence in my backyard blown down by Hurricane Debby snapping most of the 4x4 center posts. 3 A's Fencing came to the house and gave me a very reasonable quote. Twelve days later, 3 A's replaced all the center posts, reattached the fence in a few hours and had my fence looking like new. I will hire them again if I need any fencing work in the future."

"Excellent work. Many residents in our neighborhood have used Gifford Fence with great results, so this job was the HOA hiring them to replace the community's old wooden fence with a white vinyl fence. The work was done on time and looks wonderful. Jerry Gifford has fencing down to a science from obtaining the proper permits, to the scheduling, to the installation."

"I can’t say enough good about this project! Dave’s fence communicated from the start, letting us know everything that was going on! They said 4-8 weeks and it was barely 4 weeks and they were ready to go! They showed up when they said they would and did a great job installing the fence! I highly recommend this company!"

"Casey listened carefully to my hopes for a fence that was level across the top. In one part of my yard the ground is not level, and he took the time to come to a solution that made me very happy. I highly recommend this company."

"We had a wonderful experience with this fence company. From the beginning, they were extremely communicative and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The crew arrived on time each day, worked efficiently, and completed our white vinyl backyard fence in just two days. The workmanship is excellent, the fence looks beautiful, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality fencing work."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a fence that is 200 feet in length is $4,600, but this largely depends on the type of fence you build. For instance, a 200-linear-foot redwood fence costs between $3,600 and $7,000.

If the fence is on one neighbor’s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, who owns a shared fence? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.
