Q: What is the average cost of a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>The price of purchasing and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-fence-cost.htm">installing a fence around a pool</a> is dependent on the type of fence material you choose. On average, a pool fence can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000+. Chain link and mesh fences are the least expensive options, while a fully glass fence will cost the most. Having an inground or above-ground pool will also be a key factor in determining fence prices.</p></div>

Q: Do you stain both sides of a fence?

• <div><p>You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor&rsquo;s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that&rsquo;s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can&rsquo;t see it from your side of the lawn.</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: When should I replace versus repair my fence?

• <div><p>When deciding to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/repairing-vs-replacing-a-fence.htm">replace or repair your existing fence</a>, consider the 20% rule that fence builders reference. This rule states that if more than 20% of your fence needs repair, you should skip the repair and replace it. Additionally, if your fence is nearing the end of its life, it's often best to replace it.</p><p>Repairing the fence is a good option when you have minimal damage or damage from a specific event versus wear and tear. Your fence repair professional can assess the damage and compare the repair price with the cost of a new fence.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect fence installation costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material, labor, and additional features like gates or decorative elements.</p></div>
