Q: Can I pull the fence post out with a truck?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to remove a fence post with a truck and requires little physical effort, we don&rsquo;t recommend this method. You can potentially hurt others or yourself or damage your property or vehicle attempting to take a fence post out with a truck. Instead, use a farm jack or a pole puller to remove the post.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance does a chain link fence require to extend its lifespan?

• <div><p>To maintain a chain link fence and extend its lifespan, perform routine checks and cleaning. This includes inspecting for rust, tightening any loose bolts or hardware, and removing debris buildup. These steps help preserve the fence's appearance and function.</p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for the cost and repair of a shared fence between neighbors?

• <div><p>If the fence is on one neighbor&rsquo;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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-owns-shared-fence.htm">who owns a shared fence</a>? 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.</p></div>

Q: How do you replace a fence post without removing concrete?

• <div><p>Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won&rsquo;t be as sturdy.</p><p>That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won&rsquo;t work well for metal posts.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood fence lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Fences made out of redwood, cedar, or pressure-treated pine are the most durable. These materials can last anywhere between 15 to 40 years so long as they are properly maintained. Make sure to clean your fence regularly and pressure wash once a year. After pressure washing, apply a sealant and/or fresh paint to keep it looking fresh.</p></div>
