"After 27 years, we finally decided that we could finally update our house with siding and windows. We had always said we would get Continental Siding to do it. Jerry O'Neal always projected the image that he had great employees and an even better product. Raul and his crew came out and did our windows. Was suppose to take a day and a half. Only took them one day and they didn't even take a lunch. I asked if I could fix them lunch, they said not until we're finished. I told them to let me know when they had about 30 minutes left, they probably though they had to humor the fat old lady, but I told them my windows were F***ING AWESOME! Richard came in and he was supposed to have a crew and one quit do to the heat. His other helper was on vacation and for a majority of the project, he was working alone. Tore the old stuff down and put the new product up almost entirely by himself. Got on to him for not wearing a hat because it was to hot and the next day he had one on. We wanted to make sure they had plenty of water. We gave them the remote to the garage so they could get water. They were very trustworthy. I thought Richard should have gotten extra money since he did so much by himself. He deserved a big bonus! The siding on my house looks just a F***ING AWESOME as my windows. Everyone at Continental was a pleasure to work with! They kept us in the loop for everything! If you're on the fence about windows and siding, you need to choose them. Financing was a breeze as well! CALLLL NOWWWWW!"

In terms of materials, chicken wire mesh will be the most inexpensive option to use when building your fence. The downside is that it’s not the most attractive garden fence option. In a similar vein, you could choose a DIY fence made out of repurposed items, like car tires, or wooden pallets, either of which would be free to collect.
To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn’t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the type of gate latch you use.
Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.
Most people prefer to keep the fence level by “stepping” the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there’s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.
The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:
Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.
Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.
Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.
Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.
