"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

Wire fences are generally the most inexpensive type of farm fence to install, especially compared to lumber. Barbed wire is one of the cheapest options due to its simple materials, making it a good choice for low budgets and for confining docile animals in large spaces. Other options include hog wire and woven wire fences, which are strong, long-lasting, and relatively easy to repair. While wire fences require less lumber and reduce overall project costs, they are often considered less aesthetically pleasing than traditional wood fences.

The average lifespan of a wood fence is 15 to 20 years, but some can last for 40 years or more depending on several factors. The type of wood is crucial; for example, untreated pine may only last 5 to 10 years, while pressure-treated pine can last up to 20 years, and cedar's natural resistance can extend its life to 40 years. Other factors include local weather conditions, with wet and windy climates causing faster deterioration, and the quality of maintenance. Higher-end wood, metal posts, and privacy fence styles also tend to last longer.

The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.

Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool.

In most cases, a fence can only be built on your property with your consent. Not obtaining permission constitutes an encroachment and a violation of your property rights. However, exceptions may apply, such as when the fence is entirely within the property boundaries of the person putting it up and the fence complies with local zoning laws and regulations. If you think a fence infringes on your property or is not up to local standards, consult with local authorities or legal experts to address the issue and protect your property rights.
