"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!"
"I would hire this fence company again. They were informative and fast. My fence was up in less than a day. I got the black fencing. I get compliments on it all the time."
"Reasonable price--much cheaper than a wooden fence and service was great. The owner, Josh, couldn't have been nicer. After the materials came in they installed the fence in two days. It looks great and I'm very happy with my new fence."
"Perfectly. Rob and his team are professional, thorough and they do great work. I would recommend them to anyone looking to add a fence to their property. I will also be hiring them if I need more fencing."

"Seconding the review that says Dale did AAA+++ work. He installed a three rail wood fence with wire and three gates around our half acre yard. His workmanship was top notch and our fence looks beautiful. Dale was communicative, accommodating, flexible, and great to work with."
"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."
"Hidden Fence was a lifesaver! With a 10 year old Great Dane, and a one-year-old mini Aussie, we moved to a new home with the system already installed. HFOMN were easy to get ahold of and were informative and responsive. They were able to widen the boundaries to fit our needs, and while the training in the first week was certainly time consuming, the result was well worth it! I am extremely pleased, and would recommend to all pet owners that don’t want a physical fence, but also don’t believe in tying up their fur-babies. My pooches are so much more calm when neighbors pass, and they respect their boundaries. Thank you, Hidden Fence of Minnesota!"
The lifespan of wire fencing heavily depends on factors like gauge, material, coating type, and environmental conditions. However, with proper maintenance, many wire fences last for 20 to 30 years.Coastal areas or regions with high rainfall may see reduced lifespans of 10 to 15 years due to increased corrosion risk.
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.
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.
A stockade fence is a common type of privacy fence. These fences consist primarily of side-by-side boards without any gaps, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone peeking into your property. Stockade-style fences also typically included pointed pickets on top for even more security. Other than these traits, stockade fences come in a wide variety of styles.
Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.
