"From the scheduling, to the free estimate by the owner, to the incredible workmanship of the 4-man team: we were so pleased! I was a little worried at first when they said they couldn't get to us for a month but then Miranda (very sweet) called stating that they had an opening 3 weeks early and could get the whole thing done in 2 days! Mr. Borders came down to give us the estimate. He was very nice and professional. A few days later, 2 of his sons and 2 other young men came marching up and starting working non-stop! I've never seen young men work so well together and in such a professional manner, when 1 walked away from a particular job, the other filled in the gap. We were very impressed! And the work was so beautiful, my neighbors have all complimented us. In fact, the people next door have decided to call them as well. All in all, I would highly recommend them! (Note, the price was for both my fence and my mother's adjoining fence.)"

"I would definitely recommend Mr. Handyman for any job. You had around the house that you could not handle the 2 technicians who came out and worked on the project that I had were very professional of. J.R. was especially attentive to my needs. He explained what he was doing why he was doing it and whether or not I wanted it done. And I really appreciated the fact that he took the time to explain what he was doing to me and. Why it was in his main opinion, the best course to take. I am going to use them again for another project and I am very, very satisfied."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The average cost to install a fence is between $1,800 and $4,500. However, the price can vary significantly based on several factors. For a small DIY project, costs could be as low as $450, while fencing a large property like a 5-acre yard can exceed $43,000. Key factors that influence the total cost include the fence's size and height, the material used, the complexity of the design, site preparation needs, and any additional features like gates. The cost of raw materials, manufacturing, and custom fabrication can also impact the final price.

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

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.

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.
