I can't say enough in support of Bob's Fence Co. This is our fourth move in ten years (and fourth fence) and Bob was fantastic! We have over a half acre total, so we had a lot of fence! He kept us up-to-date on the status of the materials, i.e. "being fabricated", "in transit", "truck will be...

Did an excellent job. I have hired a lot of contract people in the past with remodeling our house, adding screened in porch, and covered deck, and these guys did an excellent job. But more importantly they followed their schedule to a tee.

David was very responsive, on time and easy to work with. Later on we found out that the property line was incorrect, so we had to relocate one side of the fence. David came over and the all thing was correct in no time. We would hire this company again. Outstanding.

"David and his staff pulled out the fencing where the property line dispute was so that we could remove the landscaping in that area. They came back to install the cedar fencing and fix the problem areas (removing a gate, moving another gate) with the wrought iron fencing we were keeping. He did a great job!"

"Owner Adib Michael and his crew gave us more than our money’s worth on the roofing job he did for us. First of all in the middle of the process he enthusiastically agreed to open the roof and blow insulation in at a more than economical price. His crew was very hard working and pleasant to a man while working in nearly 100 degree heat. His crew chief Hector and the crew showed complete competence on the job. And Adib insisted on doing the job according to code when I, the owner, was thinking of cutting corners. Impressive! Romani also did some concrete work for me and was very attentive to the details to maintain proper water drainage. Adib listens. I would hire Romani for any job he says he’ll do."

Wrought Iron questions, answered by experts

The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you’re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you’re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider how far apart the fence posts should be to provide adequate support.

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros

Long lifespan with proper maintenance
Very durable
Aesthetically pleasing
Functional as well as decorative

Cons

Requires regular maintenance and cleaning
Expensive compared to other fence materials
Limited privacy

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag.

Pictures of the area where you want your handrail installed should help get an accurate estimate. You should also let your professional know how accessible the installation location is, and whether or not there is a pre-existing railing to remove. Also, before contacting the pro, take some time to decide what type of wrought iron you are leaning toward.

Finally, have the overall length of your railing at the ready, so you can discuss prefabricated options versus custom-made options.

Installing a fence when the ground is frozen presents challenges, but it's possible with the right approach. First, mark and measure the fence line accurately. Use a power auger or manual post-hole digger to create holes in the frozen ground, ideally when it's less rigid during warmer parts of the day. Consider using pre-made fence post anchors or driving metal posts into the ground. Ensure posts are secure with concrete for stability. Allow extra time for the concrete to cure. Additionally, be cautious of frost heave, which may affect post-alignment. Installing in milder winter conditions is often more manageable.
