"It went very smoothly from first contact through job execution. Some neighbors had recommended them as a previous contractor never did the fencing job he had promised. In the end, they were less costly and did a fantastic job."

"August from the north fence responded to our request immediately and came out and gave us a quote the next day. Showed us a good variety of options and ordered our materials right away. The North Fence team came out by the next weekend and installed our fence professionally in record time. Fence looks great, is sturdy, gates are well constructed and they did a nice job keeping my yard intact through wet conditions. Would strongly recommend their services to anyone in need of a fence!"

"Louie and his team were amazing. From initial contact to project finish, they were prompt, communicative, and efficient. He made great recommendations like gate size and matching the height of our neighbor's chain link fence so that it looked uniform. On top of it, Louie and his crew were very nice to work with. I'd hire Madison Fence again in a heartbeat."

"Gus and his crew did an incredible job. We were too intimidated to install our own patio due to some sloping and large tree roots in the space, but Maccauly Bros tackled the issues with ease. The patio looks great! They clearly paid attention to the little details and made sure that both the patio and the walkway fit into our space perfectly. Bernie and his crew were polite, responsive, and friendly. It took them awhile to get to our project, but they were easy to communicate with and, once the project was started, they were punctual and worked long hours to get the patio done in just a few days. They did an amazing job cleaning up after themselves and reseeding the lawn. We were most impressed with their willingness to go above and beyond. We had decided to install a simple garden fence around the patio to keep our dog contained, and Gus actually installed it for us, including solving several problems when he ran into patches of buried concrete. There was no charge for the extra labor, and we were really appreciative, as we designed the entire patio around the dimensions of the prefab fencing and it was so nice to just have it all DONE when the crew left. It would have taken us many hours of work, and it probably took Gus and his guys about 30 minutes. We would definitely hire Maccauly Bros again for future projects."

"Project: New vinyl fence to replace old wooden fence, retaining wall/roof water runoff installation, shed removal and relocation, and sod installation. Luan s crew was professional, hardworking, and respectful from start to finish and began the project earlier than expected. The communication with Luan was exemplary and he was professional and quick to respond to minor issues/requests. We are extremely happy with our project!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

Aluminum is among the longest-lasting fencing materials, with a lifespan of 30 to 50 years or more. One of the reasons it lasts so long is because aluminum is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. You can help prolong its lifespan by keeping it free of vegetation and cleaning it every few months with a hose and mild soap.

A barbed wire fence will last an average of 15 to 20 years, but the life expectancy can range anywhere between five and 50 years. Thicker wires last longer, as do fences made with galvanized metal. If the barbed wire fence is in a climate with harsh winters and summers, it likely won’t last more than 10 to 15 years. Failing to keep up with maintenance and repairs will also shorten the lifespan of a barbed wire fence.

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.

Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can help your wood fence last 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You’ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.
