"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

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly fence material, corrugated metal could be the answer. Metal fences cost about $7 to $32 per foot. Aluminum corrugated metal tends to be less expensive than steel. Both options are similar in cost to wood, so, depending on the type of wood you are considering, corrugated metal could be better for your budget.

Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.

A chain link fence typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last for 30 years or more. To preserve the fence, it's important to keep the mesh wire tight, which can be done with a come-along tool every 6 to 12 months. Investing in a fence with a galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated finish can increase its lifespan to 20 to 30 years and reduce maintenance needs, as these coatings provide extra protection against the elements.

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.

If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom.
