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: How long does a barbed wire fence last?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals match new wood with existing fences?

• <div><p>Yes, finding compatible materials and finishes for seamless fixes.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to inform my neighbor I’m building a new fence?

• <div><p>Most homeowners don't need to inform their neighbors before constructing a fence, according to the law, but you will need to make sure that you&rsquo;re building on the property line or on your side of the property line. Otherwise, the neighbor could complain, which would require you to tear down and reinstall the fence. In any case, keeping them in the loop is the neighborly thing to do!</p><p>Whether you inform your neighbors or not, always use property records and a land survey to ensure your fence stays within your property boundaries.</p></div>

Q: What is the maximum slope you can build a fence on?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
