"Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Professional, friendly, hard working employees with great attitudes. The owner, Mark Novak, came and quoted the job as well as followed through with any additional questions I had. They gave me a referral for sealing and staining the privacy fence and it looks fabulous! Many of our friends love the way it changed the look of our backyard, and we love the privacy! Thank you Eastern Iowa Fence & More."

"We made the best choice in hiring Gene Dowie Fence Company, here’s why: 1) They did a great job with our fence and deck repairs. 2) They went above and beyond when it came to daily and final clean-up. 3) Gene attentively listened to what we wanted and demonstrated a refreshing ethical, easygoing manner that made it so easy to work with him. 4) Gene’s pricing and availability were by far the best."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

If you’re part of a homeowners association (HOA), you’ll need to speak with them regarding your fence repairs prior to starting work. Sometimes, you’ll need HOA approval to start repairs and ensure that the completed project meets their standards. In other cases, direct approval might not be required to start the project. Speaking with your HOA first will help avoid any unnecessary fines and headaches.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.

A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor’s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback—some communities recommend this—but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor’s side of your fence.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.
