Q: What's the best under-gate dog barrier?

• <div><p>The best under-gate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-best-fence-option-keep-your-dog-safe.htm">dog barrier</a> is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.</p></div>

Q: How high should fence pickets be off the ground?

• <div><p>Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.</p></div>

Q: What type of wood is best for a split rail fence?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">types of wood fencing</a> that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.</p><p>Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you&rsquo;re going for, check out vinyl fencing.</p></div>

Q: Is an invisible fence or a physical fence better for dogs?

• <div><p>There&rsquo;s no definitive answer to this question because dog owners and experts are conflicted about the efficacy and morality of electric fences. However, physical fences are typically considered a better option since they provide guaranteed containment for your pup, provided they are tall enough, and your dog can&rsquo;t dig under them. Physical fences can also provide privacy, which might stop your dog from barking at people or animals walking by. Physical dog fences tend to be more expensive, but most homeowners find them to be a better option overall.</p></div>

Q: Does wrought iron fencing require a permit?

• <div><p>Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">Building permits</a> for wrought iron fencing typically cost between <b>$150 and $500</b>, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you&rsquo;re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around <b>$500</b>, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.</p></div>

The work went very well. This is the second year we have used them. From the time you call for service until the work is complete, everything is friendly and very professional.

They put flags up where the fence was, and there's a control panel where you can adjust the voltage level. They came out 3x to help us train our dogs, and we did training ourselves. If we had problems with the dogs not cooperating, we'd call Hope and she'd advise us what to do. We were very...

"Do not use this company! I wish I had done more research before I hired them to take down my fence and replace it. The original fence was old, but it was definitely better than what they have done. When I first contacted Tiger Fencing for an estimate, the lady was very friendly. They came quickly and communicated that day with an estimate. I signed the contract which stated the day that the work was supposed to begin. Once the contract was signed, all communication stopped. The day that they were supposed to begin got closer and closer, and I didn't hear anything. I tried to contact them, but there was no communication. I should have canceled the job and gotten my deposit back when they didn't start on time. Unfortunately, I was polite and understanding. I never knew when they were coming to work or who they were sending There was absolutely NO communication. People would randomly show up to work, and then no one would come again for days. It was difficult to get any idea on when the job would be completed. The day they finally came to complete the job was my son's birthday. We already had a full day planned, and I wasn't home. When they "finished", suddenly I was being bombarded with messages and calls about submitting my final payment. I stated that I would be happy to pay once I was home and saw that the job was completed to my satisfaction; however, I would not be home until much later in the evening. Apparently that was not an acceptable answer. I continue to be harassed. The owner, Taylor, who had never communicated with me before and hadn't come to oversee the work, began sending some very unkind messages about how I needed to go ahead and pay. I reiterated that I wanted to see that the work was completed to my satisfaction. When I got home it was already dark out and it was later in the evening. The first thing that I noticed was that the old fence had not been cleaned up. There was still a large mess. When I let them know that I wouldn't pay until the old fence was cleaned up (I didn't consider the job completed), they told me that they were planning on coming that evening to get it cleaned up. It was dark so it was very difficult to actually see the fence, but I immediately noticed that there were several split boards. When Taylor came, he was very rude. He told me that I had forced those men away from their families to clean up my yard. (So apparently they weren't planning on coming to clean up the fence...) He stated that he has put up tons of fences, and has never had an unhappy customer. He was so unkind that he had me in tears. He said they would replace the boards, but my expectations were too high and that we had to pay that day. In hindsight, I shouldn't have let him bully me into paying at that moment. It has been 6 months, and the fence looks horrible! I was actually contacted after the job was completed by another neighbor, who also had a very bad experience with Tiger Fencing. we have several warped and broken fence boards. I hope I can help someone else avoid this situation."
