Q: Do pressure-treated fence boards warp?

• <div><p>Yes, like other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-pressured-treated-pine-popular-fence-posts.htm">types of wood fencing</a>, pressure-treated fence boards can warp. However, there are a few things you can do to reduce the likelihood of your fence warping. Sealing or staining your fence every few years, for example, can protect the wood against moisture, sun exposure, and temperature changes. </p></div>

Q: How far apart should fence posts be?

• <div><p>The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:</p><ul><li><p><b>Wood and Metal Fences:</b> Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.</p></li><li><p><b>Vinyl Fences:</b> Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.</p></li><li><p><b>Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences:</b> Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.</p></li><li><p><b>Wire Fences:</b> Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: How high should fence pickets be off the ground?

• <div><p>Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.</p></div>

Q: What type of fence is best for a farm?

• <div><p>Many types of farm fencing can work well for your farm, but it depends on the type of animal you need to contain and the size of your property. If you want something quick and temporary, go with a metal T-post fence. If you need something that will last forever, go with a synthetic fence made of composite material or PVC. Electric and barbed wire fences are often chosen for docile livestock, like pigs and cows. </p></div>

"In June Superior Fence and Rail replaced our 30 year privacy fence with privacy vinyl fencing. We had excellent experience with this company from Trisha the Sales Representative, Cassie the Office Manager to the installation team. They were all very professional and knowledgeable. The tear down and install took one day. It looks beautiful and I’ve gotten compliments. I have chain link fencing that needs replacing soon and I will hire them again.
