"Dan and the team are great! They are very involved in passionate about the community and the customers they serve. The presentation was very thorough. All of my questions were answered, sometimes before I even asked them. Communication was great from start to finish. They took to heart the safety of our pets and make sure there was no possible way they could sneak out of the fence. Would use them again and highly recommend them for your next job!"

"Had them come and install a 8Ã 12 deck. They were done in a timely fashion and the end product turned out spectacular. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone else looking to have a deck built or privacy fence. I'm sure they can do other projects as well but have witnessed both deck and fence in-person and they do a great job all the way around."

"Wow, what can I say about Renegade Fence?! Fast, Fair, Friendly, Flexible, and Fun is where I will start. Renegade fence installed nearly 600 feet of dog ear fence for us to help keep our four dogs safe and sound. They were fast! Unbelievably fast! From the quoting process to the shipping of the materials and finally the installation everything went fast and as promised and planned. They were fair. The quote was competitive, professionally laid out, arrived promptly via email, and was broken down line by line. More than I can say for some of the competitors quotes I received! Friendly! Just an extremely respectable and likable bunch of people! They kept in constant contact with me leading up to the scheduled start date and were professional and friendly about my questions and concerns. Flexible. Due to needing some trees removed before the new fence installation I had to juggle some schedules around at the last minute. Renegade Fence was able to accommodate my schedule perfectly. FUN! It was an absolute blast meeting the Renegade Fences crew, and I feel like I have made new friends that I am excited to work with again on future projects! I have got to say respect your trades workers. These people do the work some of us are too old to do, or just do not have the time for. Just watching this crew moving cement and wood, and climbing my huge backyard hill put my respect for the hard workers of America to a new level!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.

While they can be closer, the maximum distance between fence posts for residential fences is 8 feet. This ensures the panels are adequately supported by the fence posts. This is usually dictated by the width of the panel, which is typically between 5 and 8 feet. While narrower panels will require more posts, they’ll be lighter and easier to work with than wider panels that are the same height.

Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog’s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. 

If possible, it is beneficial to paint both sides of your fence to protect the fence more completely from the elements. Painting both sides of your fence will create a more consistent appearance as well. However, the time and cost involved in painting both sides of the fence may cause people to paint only the side they see.

For a chain link fence, the ideal distance between fence posts is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence.
