What is the best type of fence for my pet?

• <div><p>Determining the best type of fence to contain your pet can be tricky. Consult a pet fence installer and consider the following questions:</p><ul><li><p><b>What size pet do you have?</b> Some fence types, like chain link, are too short to contain large dogs.</p></li><li><p><b>Is digging an issue?</b> Some fences, like brick or stone, help minimize digging at the fence line, where wood fences aren’t as adequate. </p></li><li><p><b>Do you need to block your pet’s view of the neighbor's yard?</b> Some fences, like metal iron fencing and chain link, don’t offer an obstructed view. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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>

Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>For the most part, goats are friendly and won’t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don’t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they’re near children or pets.</p></div>

Q: How do you make a wooden fence look old?

• <div><p>You can weather a new wood fence by applying vinegar with steel wool as a way to fade some of the coloring. You may also find it easier to stain your entire fence a new color instead of trying to get newer fence boards to match an older one. </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.
