Q: How long do garden gates last?

• <div><p>This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront. </p></div>

Q: Can you install a fence on your own?

• <div><p>Proper installation can make a big difference in your fence's maintenance needs. For example, wood fences that aren't installed correctly can be more likely to rot. While it's possible to DIY a fence installation, <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/fence-companies/">hiring a local fence company</a> can mean much less work for you in the long run. </p><p>A professional fence installer will make sure your fence is positioned correctly and installed in a way that ensures longevity and limited upkeep requirements.</p></div>

Q: What is a board on board fence?

• <div><p>A board on board fence is a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-fences-pros-cons.htm">type of privacy fence</a> that uses overlapping vertical boards to keep onlookers from seeing into the fenced yard. Typically made of wood, board on board fences are more expensive than other privacy fences because they use more materials and require more complex construction.</p></div>

Q: How long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: Should you power wash a fence before staining it?

• <div><p>While <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-tips-pressure-wash-your-home.htm">power washing</a> isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn&rsquo;t time for dust and dirt to build up again. </p></div>
