"Because Ritter Fence LLC had installed our fence 15 years ago, we invited Steve Ritter, to give us an estimate on some new privacy fencing. Early this spring, he came to our home to measure for the fencing and then again, to bring a sample of the cap board. Each time he was punctual. Mr. Ritter's estimate was quite reasonable for "cedar," so we later decided to request an additional estimate for removing and resurfacing two decks as well. On this occasion, in May, he measured for materials for the decks and stated he would get these estimates to us at a later date. At the same visit Mr. Ritter brought a contract along with him for the fence; however, in the meantime a check with the Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) revealed that his MHIC license had expired. He stated that he was unaware that had happened. He asked for a deposit on the fence and set up an install date; but we refused to sign the contract until he reinstated his license. Early in September I contacted the MHIC to find that Ritter Fence LLC's license still had not been reinstated. In a call to Mr. Ritter that day, he stated that he hopes to have the license reinstated this November. You be the judge. We will seek estimates elsewhere. Our patience ran out. Fence estimate only since never received deck estimates."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

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.

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.

For a chain link fence, the ideal distance between fence posts is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence.

The best type of temporary fencing depends on its intended purpose. For example, if you need it for added security, to ensure the safety of children and animals, or to keep pests out of a garden, the ideal material will differ. For simply warning people away from a construction project, plastic orange fencing may be sufficient. Barricade fencing is a good choice for blocking off small areas. If you need to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism, more robust security fencing is necessary. Once you understand the primary function, you can select the most durable and cost-effective material for your specific project and yard size.
