Q: Can I use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you&rsquo;ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn&rsquo;t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You&rsquo;ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. </p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my fence?

• <div><p>If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it&rsquo;s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you&rsquo;re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.</p></div>

Q: What are common vinyl fence issues?

• <div><p>Common problems include cracks, warping, and loose panels. Regular cleaning prevents discoloration and wear.</p></div>

Q: Does composite fencing fade in the sun?

• <div><p>Yes, you can expect your composite fencing to fade quickly during the first six months. This happens naturally because the wood oils in the fencing material, called tannins, bleed out. Because of this, it can help to get a color chart from your fence company, which should show you the color of your fence before and after it fades. </p></div>

Q: What are common aluminum or steel fence issues?
