Q: Who covers the cost of repairing a shared fence between neighbors?

• <div><p>If the fence is on one neighbor&rsquo;s property, that person is responsible for repairs, regardless of who benefits from the fence more. The other neighbor must keep trees and other obstacles from crossing the property line and affecting the fence. If the fence is directly on the property line, though, who owns a shared fence ? Many states have laws that address this issue. Typically, the two property owners would share responsibilities and costs for fence maintenance and repair. You may need a property line survey to precisely determine ownership and responsibility.</p></div>

Q: How much does a stockade fence cost to install?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-privacy-fence-cost.htm">How much does a privacy fence cost</a>? Stockade fences cost $12 to $13 per linear foot for materials. You may find fencing that costs less, but it&rsquo;s likely wholesale wood manufactured using young trees. Fencing materials made with young trees are less durable than those made with mature trees.</p><p> </p><p>For installation, expect to pay $30 to $80 per hour. Installing a 150- to 200-linear-foot fence takes 20 to 35 hours, which comes to about $600 to $2,800 for labor.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How much of a gap should be under a fence?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to tell my neighbor I’m putting up a fence?

• <div><p>While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they&rsquo;re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a metal fence?

• <div><p>Regular cleaning, rust-proof coatings, and checking fasteners help prolong the lifespan.</p></div>
