Q: What is the lifespan of composite fences?

• <div><p>One of the best features of composite fences is their long lifespan. You can expect your composite fence to last <b>20 to 30 years</b>. It lasts long because it consists of recycled plastic and wood fibers. The plastic offers durability that wood alone can&rsquo;t provide. It&rsquo;s mold- and rot-resistant, as well as weather-resistant. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a chain link fence?

• <div><p>Regularly check for rust, tighten loose bolts, and remove debris buildup to extend the fence&rsquo;s lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How long does a metal fence last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a metal fence varies by specific material and makeup, but even then, all options can last for quite a while. Chain-link and aluminum fencing will look good and function properly for anywhere from 25 to 30 years&mdash;provided they&rsquo;re properly cared for. And corrugated metal fences can live up to 60 years with regular maintenance.</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>
