"It was so easy! Jacob from Full Force Fence called me and made an ally to come out and measure the fence line we needed. On install day he and three of his team members installed the fence quickly and proficiently all in one day and it looks beautiful! We and our dogs thank you and we will definitely use them again for our next fencing project."

"They do exceptional work. They built a ramp off of my deck. Also critter-proofed my shed. They did exactly what was written in the contract, showed up when they said they would and finished the job in a timely manner. High quality work."

"Scott has done two fence jobs at two different homes. First home was a combo of cedar and black chain link, second home was treated wood. I went back to him for my second job because of his quality work. Heâ s willing to answer all your questions. He has a tremendous amount of experience. Worth at least meeting and getting yourself a quote."

"Heritage Fencing came from St. Louis, MI into Saginaw, MI on a daily basis to do my fencing over to connected lots in the Cathedral District (original downtown near Dow Event Center). They were professional and did a great job working with a combination of old and new materials. They completed a very sturdy chain link fence with three new gates and partial wood panel fencing as well on the back lot. I was very pleased with their work and interactions during the project."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

There are many types of wood fencing 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.

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. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

In addition to the fence itself, several factors can impact the overall price of putting a fence in. Consider these add-ons and necessary expenses when building your project budget. For example, additional cost factors may include:

  • Removing your existing fence

  • Land leveling and other site work

  • Tree and stump removal

  • New landscaping

  • Working around underground utilities

  • Painting and staining

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.

You can sometimes install a fence over a gas line. Fence installation typically requires a two-foot depth for posts, so if the lines are shallower than two feet, you cannot put a fence post over the line. You’ll need to call 811 to get the gas lines located and marked before you start the project.
