"I recently purchased a warehouse and needed to upgrade my lighting to LED. The team came out to do a free audit and provided me with a proposal promptly. Within a few weeks, the team was able to install all new fixtures while my team could still be productive during working hours. The warehouse is brighter than I can ever imagine and I am glad Arnolds Construction was able to help."

"My gardens have never looked more beautiful. Neighbors often stop to compliment the yard. Several of my neighbors have hired this company after watching them work on my property. The driveway was sealed and patches taken care of. I would definitely recommend this company. They are reliable and do excellent work."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

When choosing wood for a fence, consider your budget and geographic region. The most popular and common types of wood are cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is a top choice due to its natural durability, resistance to rot and insects, and budget-friendly price. Redwood is another durable, tried-and-true option, though it is typically more expensive. Pressure-treated wood, such as pine, is also a widely used and popular alternative. These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes future repairs and replacements easier. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them excellent choices for most fence installation projects.

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.

Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing.

Clean regularly, inspect for damage, and seal or paint wooden fences to protect against weather.

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.
