"Clinton did a great job repairing our fence and installing a new gate latch. He consultant with me about what changes I thought needed to be made and then suggested additional enhancements. The end result was a beautiful, strong fence and an easy-to-use gate latch. He completed the project in one afternoon and was friendly and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Grasshopper Fencing."

"Job was done professionally. My neighbors even talked about how nice the fence looked and wanted to know who did the installation. Work was done in the time frame given. The side looked so good that I decided to have the entire yard fenced in. I would reccomend Allen and Son Fencing to anyone looking to have a professional installation done in their yard or business."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Many types of farm fencing can work well for your farm, but it depends on the type of animal you need to contain and the size of your property. If you want something quick and temporary, go with a metal T-post fence. If you need something that will last forever, go with a synthetic fence made of composite material or PVC. Electric and barbed wire fences are often chosen for docile livestock, like pigs and cows. 

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

Green branches are more flexible and easier to work with, but they'll shrink as they dry, which can loosen your fence weave over time—so you'll need to weave them extra tight to account for shrinkage. Some species, particularly willow, may also try to sprout when used green. For these reasons, it’s typically easiest to use branches that have dried for a week or two.

How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.

You can use soil and gravel instead of concrete when setting fence posts. However, concrete is more durable and longer lasting, so it's worth considering if you want your fence to withstand the test of time. You should especially consider concrete if you live in a region that experiences severe weather, which can damage your fence.
