Q: How do I maintain a fence?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, inspect for damage, and seal or paint wooden fences to protect against weather.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should a four-by-four fence post be?

• <div><p>The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about <b>6 to 8 feet</b> 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. </p></div>

Q: How many coats of stain do you need for a fence?

• <div><p>Typically, you need one to two coats of stain for a fence. The number of coats you need can vary depending on the porosity of the type of wood. You can also apply an extra coat of stain if you want the color to look more saturated or to cover lap marks and patchy spots.</p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of composite fences?

• <div><p>One of the best features of composite fences is their long lifespan. You can expect your composite fence to last <b>20 to 30 years</b>. It lasts long because it consists of recycled plastic and wood fibers. The plastic offers durability that wood alone can&rsquo;t provide. It&rsquo;s mold- and rot-resistant, as well as weather-resistant. </p></div>

Q: How deep should I set shadowbox fence posts?

• <div><p>Post depth for shadowbox fences should be at least two feet deep plus an additional foot for every foot of fence height above four feet. For a standard six-foot fence, this means a minimum depth of 3 feet. This depth helps to protect the structural integrity of your fence in the face of wind, soil movement, and seasonal ground shifts </p></div>
