Q: When should I replace versus repair my fence?

• <div><p>When deciding to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/repairing-vs-replacing-a-fence.htm">replace or repair your existing fence</a>, consider the 20% rule that fence builders reference. This rule states that if more than 20% of your fence needs repair, you should skip the repair and replace it. Additionally, if your fence is nearing the end of its life, it's often best to replace it.</p><p>Repairing the fence is a good option when you have minimal damage or damage from a specific event versus wear and tear. Your fence repair professional can assess the damage and compare the repair price with the cost of a new fence.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wire fence?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance for wire fencing includes annual inspections for rust or damage, tension adjustments every two to three years, and immediate repair of any breaks or loose sections. You should also regularly check the fence posts for stability, particularly after severe weather, and make sure to remove any vegetation growing along the fence line. </p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>The price of purchasing and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-fence-cost.htm">installing a fence around a pool</a> is dependent on the type of fence material you choose. On average, a pool fence can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000+. Chain link and mesh fences are the least expensive options, while a fully glass fence will cost the most. Having an inground or above-ground pool will also be a key factor in determining fence prices.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable metal fence?

• <div><p>The most affordable metal fence type is wire at just <b>$3 to $5 per linear foot</b>. Wire fences come in a variety of styles and do a good job of marking perimeters and keeping animals in or out of certain areas. While they&rsquo;re very easy to install and repair, many homeowners find them unattractive, and many homeowners associations won&rsquo;t allow them.</p></div>

Q: What gauge is hog wire fencing?

• <div><p>The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire. </p></div>

Tyler was super helpful and genuinely worked to solve our pest issue. We found an opossum in our finished basement without any obvious understanding of how the animal was able to get in the house. Tyler was really fast with responding and helping us get the animal removed safely and humanely....

They came to our home and were very polite and cordial. They did a professional job. The fence is a box style and is a little difficult to do, but they did a wonderful job. They were always there when they said they would be. They were very careful and thorough. The fence and deck look great!
