Q: What is the most durable type of metal for a fence?

• <div><p>The most durable metal for a fence is wrought iron. With proper care, a wrought iron fence can last for centuries. This means regular resealing to stave off rust and corrosion, especially in coastal climates with salty sea air. In these environments, chain link and corrugated fencing tend to stand up better to the elements with fewer maintenance needs.</p></div>

Q: Can you touch an electric fence and not get shocked?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.</p></div>

Q: Can I pull the fence post out with a truck?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to remove a fence post with a truck and requires little physical effort, we don&rsquo;t recommend this method. You can potentially hurt others or yourself or damage your property or vehicle attempting to take a fence post out with a truck. Instead, use a farm jack or a pole puller to remove the post.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between split rail and post and rail fence?

• <div><p>Split rail fencing is a type of post and rail fencing. Other post and rail fences include corral board and post and dowel. Post and rail fencing is the term used for any type of fence with vertical posts, horizontal rails, and nothing else (specifically excluding pickets). So, technically, a split rail fence is a post and rail fence.</p></div>

We are building a new house. We had cut down a tree that was right in the way of the new driveway. It was too late in the year to bring out a stump grinder. He cut it down as low as he could which was fine with the builder.

Jesse and crew were amazing! They removed a large tree that had limited access in a fenced-in yard with precision. Also removed the stump, filled in dirt and seeded the entire area. Would call them again. Highly recommended to anyone!

Fencing questions, answered by experts

There are different types of pet fencing available to keep your furry family member safe:

Chain link fencing is an affordable but not visually appealing option.
Vinyl panel fencing is less easily damaged than wood.
Wood fencing is customizable but requires regular maintenance.
Metal iron fencing provides a sleek look but doesn’t block your pet’s view.
Electric fencing eliminates the need for a traditional fence, but it could be painful to your pet.
Picket fencing adds to your curb appeal but won’t contain most pets.
Brick or stone fencing stops pets from digging out of the yard but costs more.
