How do you anchor a temporary fence?

• <div><p>You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence, ranging in cost and ease of installation. Sandbags are one solution, but may not hold up if you have inclement weather with strong winds. Spike and bolts are another alternative. While they’re inexpensive and easy to install, it can be difficult if your ground is too soft for in-ground drilling. Wind braces are another option—be sure to bolt these into the ground as well. While they can withstand turbulent wind, they can also be difficult to install if the ground is too soft.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to replace an existing fence?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-permit-to-build-fence.htm">Do you need a permit to build a fence</a> if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you. </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>

Q: Is board on board fence more expensive?

• <div><p>A board on board fence is more expensive than other types of privacy fences. That&rsquo;s because these fences require overlapping boards, which drives up material and labor costs. On average, a board on board fence costs 30% more than an average wood fence.</p></div>

Q: How deep should split rail fence posts be?

• <div><p>The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.</p><p>If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.</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....

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.

Mike and his crew did a great job. They installed 5 foot high black aluminum fencing around our back yard. The week after the installation a huge tree limb fell and took out one corner and side of the fence. Mike was back and had it repaired the next week. We also used Mike to remodel a bath...
