How far apart should posts be for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. </p></div>

How long does it take to build a fence?

• <div><p>If you hire a fence installer for the project, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-fence.htm">time it takes to build a fence</a> is about 20 to 30 hours. Tackling the project yourself will take around 40 to 50 hours. It can take longer if you need to obtain permits, level the ground, remove the old fence, or remove a tree.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How deep should I bury my garden fence?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It&rsquo;s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. </p><p> Burrowing animals (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/voles-vs-moles.htm">voles, moles</a>, rabbits, and gophers) can&rsquo;t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you&rsquo;ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.</p></div>

Q: What attracts armadillos to your yard?

• <div><p>Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.</p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a snow fence?

• <div><p>One of the best alternatives to a snow fence is to plant a living snow fence of grasses, shrubs, trees, and crops like corn. Another temporary option is using hay bales to create a barrier to disrupt the wind flow, and cause snow to accumulate in specific areas. However, hay bales are not a permanent option, so keep that in mind when choosing what type of snow fence you should install.</p></div>
