"Kaleb and Leah are dishonest and unprofessional. Paid them $7,000 in July 2021 as a 50% deposit “for materials”. They promised to begin the job in August 2021, and to complete it within a week after that. Once they had my money they disappeared and it took months of calls and e-mails and text messages to get them to actually show up in late October of 2021. Two guys showed up and started digging post holes by hand. Then they disappeared again for a month. As of March 2022 the job is still not even half done and looks terrible. The neighbors are complaining about it. This company is a scam, two of their employees told me that they have taken deposits on multiple jobs they have never completed. I have had to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit since they have not made any attempt to complete the job or resolve this situation in any other way. Do not hire this company."

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

Electric fences use very little energy and shouldn’t cause any surprises on your next energy bill; You may only notice an extra couple of dollars on the bill. While electric fences don’t consume much energy, they still need it. If you have a power outage after a storm, your electric fence will likely stop working.

Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a termite infestation. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.

Fence pickets typically face out (away from your home or the garden that you're enclosing). Both the rails and pickets sit on the outside of a fence so that anyone passing by can see the finished side. Not only does the look increase your curb appeal, but it's also the neighborly thing to do when placing a barrier between two properties, even when you're installing a privacy fence.

You may wonder if you need a permit to build a fence at your home. It varies by where you live. Some cities and counties have laws that require you to obtain a permit to construct your fence. Needing a permit may depend on the size of the fence and the materials you’re using. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to determine whether you need a permit. Having to take the steps to obtain a permit can increase the timeline for how long it takes to build a fence.

Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.
