What additional cost factors should I consider when installing a fence?

• <div><p>In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:</p><ul><li><p>Removing your existing fence</p></li><li><p>Land leveling and other site work</p></li><li><p>Tree and stump removal</p></li><li><p>New landscaping</p></li><li><p>Working around underground utilities</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stain-paint-fence-cost.htm">Painting and staining</a></p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you support a pallet fence?

• <div><p>Pallet fences come with built-in support through the fence posts you should install on each side of their vertical interior. Stand the fence upright and slide it onto the fence posts, then further support it with 2x4 wood boards that you drill across each point where two pallets connect side-by-side.</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 is the best type of wood to use for a fence?

• <div><p>When you&rsquo;re deciding to take on a fence installation project, you&rsquo;ll notice various types of wood to choose from. Take into consideration your geographic region and your budget when making your selection. Cedar is a popular choice when looking for a budget-friendly option, as it&rsquo;s resistant to insects and less likely to rot compared to other types. Redwood is another tried-and-true choice because of its durability, but keep in mind that it is more expensive than other types of wood.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a bamboo fence?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-fence.htm">How long it takes to install a fence</a> depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day. </p></div>

Jablan did an outstanding job repairing our fence. Our students couldn't use the playground due to the fence damage. They worked on the weekend in order to have us up and running for school on Monday. Life Saver.

We hired Curtis to install a vinyl fence for our backyard. He showed up when he said he would and got right to work measuring for our new fence. Once our fence and supplies were delivered he had our fence up and ready to use within 3 days. We couldnâ t be happier with our new fence.

He came out and fenced in about 4 acres of land for my dogs. They put wire underground and gave us collars for our dogs to keep them on our land. Wonderful experience.
