How tall should my garden fence be?

• <div><p>The height of your garden fence depends on your goals and priorities. Do you need to keep rabbits out? Then you’ll need at least two feet in height to do so. Is it more of a privacy fence? For that, you’ll want to construct something at least 7 feet tall so that there’s little chance anyone can see over the fence. Some garden fences are purely decorative, in which case the height is up to you. </p></div>

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>

Q: Should my fence follow the ground or be level?

• <div><p>Most people prefer to keep the fence level by &ldquo;stepping&rdquo; the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit to replace an existing fence?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-you-need-permit-to-build-fence.htm">Do you need a permit to build a fence</a> if you are simply replacing an existing fence? Whether you need a permit in this case depends on your local laws and regulations. Most municipalities consider a fence replacement project as being equal to building a new fence, so you likely will need a permit. Check with your local building inspection department or zoning department to see if you need a permit. If you hire a local fence contractor, this pro can take care of obtaining all permits for you. </p></div>

Q: Can you build a fence on a setback?

• <div><p>A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor&rsquo;s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback&mdash;some communities recommend this&mdash;but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor&rsquo;s side of your fence.</p></div>

They were incredible from start to finish! We had gotten 4 estimates for our work- some companies wouldn’t complete the work because of the proximity to power lines. Timber Works wasn’t the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. They had really great equipment for taking down the trees,...

"As I was deciding on a contractor, I was impressed by my neighbor's fence that DanDale Fence installed several months back and decided to work with them on my replacement. Their team was very responsive to my questions and walked me through the entire process. The install team was also very informative and professional with their craftmanship in demo of the old and installing the new. Very happy with their service and finished product they carried out. They did an excellent job and added value to my house with how it looks."

"I am so impressed at the work they did! Ibrahim provided quotes for two different options which allowed us to make the right decision based on how long we plan to stay in our home. Not only did the team finish the deck in two days - the yard was spotless when they left. One of the workers (whose name escapes me right now!) even played with our pups a bit which made them much more comfortable (our old pup gets very nervous around new people). I highly recommend them for the work they did, but also the professionalism and customer service."
