Q: Should you power wash a fence before staining it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-pressure-wash-your-home.htm">power washing</a> isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn&rsquo;t time for dust and dirt to build up again. </p></div>

Q: Can I build a fence against my neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.</p></div>

Q: What is the purpose of a split rail fence?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ve likely been considering lots of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/wood-fence-ideas.htm">wood fence ideas for your yard</a>. There are many reasons why people choose split rail fences time and again. For one, they&rsquo;re one of the most wallet-friendly fencing options, especially since you don&rsquo;t need to use much hardware and setting the posts doesn&rsquo;t require concrete or foam. So if you have a large property and want to fence it in, your best bet may be a split rail fence.</p></div>

Q: How long does a bamboo fence last?

• <div><p>A bamboo <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">fence can last</a> up to 20 years when properly installed and maintained. Bamboo is a durable material, but to get the most life out of it, you should clean and seal the fence every few years. Staining the bamboo can also restore the appearance if the color fades over time. Use screws to fasten the bamboo, rather than twine, to ensure the bamboo fence stays together longer. </p></div>

Q: How long does a wood fence last?

• <div><p>The average lifespan of a wood fence is 15 to 20 years, but some can last for 40 years or more depending on several factors. The type of wood is crucial; for example, untreated pine may only last 5 to 10 years, while pressure-treated pine can last up to 20 years, and cedar's natural resistance can extend its life to 40 years. Other factors include local weather conditions, with wet and windy climates causing faster deterioration, and the quality of maintenance. Higher-end wood, metal posts, and privacy fence styles also tend to last longer.</p></div>

If you do hire them make sure you have them write down and sign everything they are doing. I'm not sure if they have ever done fencing before but by the way my looks I don't think so. If they had a picture upload I could show how it looks I would.
