"I can’t say enough good things about TC .. Freedom Home Repair and Construction LLC! He recently built a deck and fence for my home, and the results are absolutely amazing. From start to finish, TC was professional, honest, and incredibly efficient. You can tell he takes real pride in his work, everything was done with care, precision, and a true craftsman’s touch. What stood out most to me was TC’s clear communication and integrity. He showed up on time, stuck to the agreed budget, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. There were no surprises ...just solid, high quality work done exactly as promised. Our deck and fence have completely transformed my outdoor space, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're looking for a reliable contractor who delivers top notch results and is a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend TC - Freedom Home Repair and Construction LLC. Hands down, one of the best decisions I've made for my home!"

Fencing 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.

While cedar and pine are two of the most common wooden fence materials, everything from redwood to bamboo is also available. You can also purchase pressure-treated wood, which better withstands water damage and the threat of pests. The best wood for your fence will come down to your budget, local climate, and preferred look.

How long it takes to install a fence depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day.

Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your fence materials. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts.

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.
