• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">types of wood fencing</a> that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.</p><p>Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides.

Q: Is two feet deep enough for fence posts?

• <div><p>The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you&rsquo;re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you&rsquo;re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-far-apart-should-fence-posts-be.htm">how far apart the fence posts should be</a> to provide adequate support.</p></div>

Q: Should you sand your fence before staining?

• <div><p>On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there&rsquo;s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.</p></div>

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>
