"I recently had the pleasure of working with Dowie Fencing to install a new fence around my property, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. Their team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled in their craft. The quality of the materials used and the workmanship exceeded my expectations. Not only did they deliver a sturdy and beautifully designed fence, but they also completed the project on time and within budget. I highly recommend Dowie Fencing to anyone in need of fencing services. They are a top-notch company that truly cares about their customers and the quality of their work. Thanks to them, I now have a fence that not only adds security to my home but also enhances its curb appeal. I'm a satisfied and happy customer!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

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.

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

Customization options include coatings, privacy slats, and incorporating colors or ornamental elements to enhance aesthetic appeal.
