Why should I pick vinyl for my fence?

• <div><p>Vinyl fencing stays popular with homeowners because it’s durable and aesthetically pleasing. In addition to offering plenty of privacy, vinyl fences have a life span of <b>20 to 30 years</b> with minimal maintenance. You don’t have to worry about these fences warping or rotting due to moisture, and this material doesn’t contain toxic chemicals.</p></div>

Do you need a fence around a plunge pool?

• <div><p>Check with your local laws, which might state that you have to build a fence around your plunge pool. If you have children or pets or live in an area with abundant wildlife, you should consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-fence.htm">building a fence</a> around your pool for safety. Pools can present a drowning hazard, and while plunge pools are not very deep, younger children can get hurt if they try to dive into them. A fence can help protect your family and visitors from injury.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a fence over a gas line?

• <div><p>You can sometimes install a fence over a gas line. Fence installation typically requires a two-foot depth for posts, so if the lines are shallower than two feet, you cannot put a fence post over the line. You&rsquo;ll need to call 811 to get the gas lines located and marked before you start the project.</p></div>

Q: How do I dog-proof my yard?

• <div><p>Check for gaps or weak spots where your dog could escape and seal them. Remove toxic plants, chemicals, and potentially hazardous items. The list includes cocoa bean mulch, which is harmful to pups if ingested.</p><p>It's also essential to provide shade and fresh water. You may want to consider installing a dog-friendly surface on concrete areas like artificial turf. Additionally, regularly inspect for potential hazards, such as sharp objects or broken glass. Most importantly, supervise your dog during outdoor time to ensure their safety.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should garden fence posts be?

• <div><p>The distance between fence posts is guided by the terrain you&rsquo;re installing them on, the purpose of the fence, and the material it&rsquo;s made of. For the average wooden garden fence, posts should be about 6 to 8 inches apart. But if you&rsquo;re going with a mesh, wire, lattice, or chain link fence, you could set the fence posts anywhere from 6 to 25 feet apart. </p></div>

"Ken, the owner of Northeast Dog Guard, was amazing. I have a very highly active and very fast large dog. She is 35 lbs., and we had her only 4 weeks when Ken came to our rescue. We have tried GPS collars (2 to be exact) and they were unpredictable. Our dog would run the GPS fence because one day it works and the next day it would not. The boundaries also shifted based on satellite positions. Not worth the expensive investment. Not with Ken’s and Northeast Dog Guard collar. He arrived on time on schedule, even on the rainiest day and worked with me and my large puppy to install and train her. Within 3 days she was walking the property without a leash and understood the boundaries. Now two weeks later we don't have any worries. She is safe and stays on the property even when she sees animals and other dogs. She is running and has the best time ever. I highly recommend Ken and Northeast Dog Guard. He understands and stands 100% behind his product and success. Thank you so much"
