"David did an awesome job. He came out measured the space and ordered the material We had just bought the property and have a dog so we asked for him to install as soon as possible. He started on a Friday and finished on Saturday. He wouldn't accept payment until we were completely satisfied with the work. Great job."

Customers say: Quality work

"Tim did an excellent job. His crew removed my old fence and installed a new fence in two days. He was a one stop company. He did everything from furnishing a bid, buying the materials obtaining the permits, and having the utilities lines checked. The only thing I did was agree to do the job and write the check at the end. I highly recommend him for your fence work."

Fencing FAQs, answered by experts

The legal implications of installing barbed wire fencing will vary from city to city. You should check your local regulations to see if barbed wire fencing is allowed, and what restrictions exist. For instance, some municipalities might require that your fence be a certain height and a certain distance from your home.

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.

When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is $1,350. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.

As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That’s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly $10 to $30 per linear foot.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

Clean regularly, inspect for damage, and seal or paint wooden fences to protect against weather.
