Q: Should you put a fence around your vegetable garden?

• <div><p>Vegetable gardens can easily become a convenient food bank for your local animal population, whether it&rsquo;s squirrels stealing fruit or rabbits munching on freshly grown veggies. If you want to keep those critters out, it helps to put a fence around your vegetable garden that&rsquo;s at least a couple of feet tall to deter any animals from getting past it. Just make sure your fence doesn&rsquo;t interrupt the amount of sunlight your garden needs to thrive. </p><p> </p></div>

Q: How deep should split rail fence posts be?

• <div><p>The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.</p><p>If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.</p></div>

Q: Can I use green branches for fence weaving?

• <div><p>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&mdash;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&rsquo;s typically easiest to use branches that have dried for a week or two. </p></div>

Q: Who pays for a new fence between neighbors?

• <div><p>Who pays for a new fence between neighbors depends on its location relative to the property line. If you build the fence entirely on your property, you are solely responsible for the costs of installation, maintenance, and repair. If the fence is built directly on the property line, both neighbors are typically responsible for the costs. In this case, it is essential to consult with your neighbor beforehand to agree on a plan for payment. While you should always inform your neighbor of your plans in advance, you generally cannot force them to contribute financially unless there are specific local laws, such as in California, where both parties might be responsible for costs unless a different agreement exists. It's a good idea to get a property line survey to know the exact boundaries before building.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should I place shadowbox fence posts?

• <div><p>Standard post spacing for shadowbox fences is 6 to 8 feet. This spacing ensures proper support for the heavy weight of overlapping pickets and prevents sagging between posts. However, areas with high winds, slopes, or unstable soil conditions may require closer spacing. </p></div>

The fence was put in earlier than expected. They put up the posts in concrete. They even reinforced the privacy fence that was loose! <br /> They built a gate onto the deck on sight. They cleaned up after themselves. I would use them again and I definitely would recommend them to my friends. ...
