"I highly recommend Northland Fence. They make building a fence easy! They are truly fence professionals starting from the initial meeting with the design specialist to the fence crew and the office staff plus they have a great website that includes a video of how the fence is constructed. When I first saw my finished fence I was amazed! Northland Fence exceeded my expectations! Now I have a great, high quality fence with a 10 year warranty!"
"Amazing!! The team at next day fences are true professionals. Needed some fencing put in quickly and the team was able to come out and quote and delivered even sooner than my desired timeline. The work was done professionally and thoroughly and the customer experience was top notch. Will definitely be referring them to friends/family when similar work needs to be done."
"Top Notch Fencing came in with one of the lowest bids. Rob from T.N.F. told me exactly what they would be doing with the project and when they would start. They did a very nice job with this project. Everything went as they said it would and it looks great. Top Notch’s fee was lower than most but their work was not at all sub par"
"From start to finish, the experience was exceptional!!!! I will recommend Top Rail to everyone looking for a fencing company!! Charles was awesome & amazing!!!! He checked in with me on a regular basis to let me know how things were progressing to start the job, while the job was being done & even followed up after the job was completed!!!! Superior company to work with!!! My fence is gorgeous!!!! Thank you, Top Rail!!!!"

"As many of you know--finding a reputable home improvement company can be quite a challenge. We had some major projects to do in our yard and initially reached out to multiple companies requesting bids on building a 40 x 10 foot pergola, repairing a cedar fence and staining another major structure in our yard. Our experience in contacting home improvement companies was so disappointing. Inaccurate bids, no shows, and people showing up that presented themselves as home improvement companies but didn’t know what the heck they were doing. The only company that took the time to provide frequent consultation, accurate estimates, multiple visits to our property and consistent follow-up was Twin City Handyman! The entire staff was attentive to our needs and the projects were well done and completed on time. A big shout out to Darren, Kathy, Cory and Johnny and other staff members who assisted in completing our projects for their expertise and attention to detail. We highly recommend this company for all of your home improvement needs. Now, other members of our family are using TCH for their projects as well! Thanks TCH for a job well done. It was a pleasure working with you."
"Ridgeline Fence and Deck were amazing to work with. They made the process of getting a nice fence installed seamless. I was able to have all my questions answered in a timely manner. They use quality materials, & the building crew was efficient and had very kind customer service."
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.
For the most part, goats are friendly and won’t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don’t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they’re near children or pets.
Yes, installing wrought iron fencing will usually require a building permit, as do all types of fencing. Building permits for wrought iron fencing typically cost between $150 and $500, and the price will vary based on where you live and how much your local building department charges. You may also need to pay for a property survey if you’re installing wrought iron fencing on your property line. This type of survey can cost around $500, but it prevents issues with building on neighboring properties, which can be much more expensive in the long run.
Corrugated metal is a strong, long-lasting material. A corrugated metal fence will typically last several decades, and the metal panels themselves may last for 40 to 60 years. The main thing you should be concerned about is the fence posts. Wood fence posts will last about five years if you purchase them untreated or about 15 years if you treat them after installation. Keep an eye on your posts and look out for insect damage and rot.
The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.
