Should you sand your fence before staining?

• <div><p>On most untreated wood fences, there is no need to sand before treating. You typically only need to sand if there’s an old coat of paint or stain on your fence. If you do need to sand off a previous paint or protective coating (like an old stain or sealant), use medium-grit sandpaper.</p></div>

What is the cheapest privacy fence to build?

• <div><p>Of all the fencing options, the cheapest type is a repurposed pallet fence because it’s made of used materials that are easy to find for free. But if you’re not interested in the DIY game, customize a covered chain link fence or a plain wood fence to provide the best privacy possible. </p></div>

Q: How long does a fence last?

• <div><p>How long a fence should last depends on the type of fence, but a common split wooden fence should last seven to 10 years. Chain link can last much longer, with wrought iron and concrete lasting decades. If you're interested in your fence lasting as long as possible&mdash;and it's made of wood&mdash;consider sealing and treating the wood so it can stand up to the environment. Wood is the only fence type that requires this, as concrete and metal are almost always waterproof. </p></div>

Q: Should pickets face in or out?

• <div><p>Fence pickets typically face out (away from your home or the garden that you're enclosing). Both the rails and pickets sit on the outside of a fence so that anyone passing by can see the finished side. Not only does the look increase your curb appeal, but it's also the neighborly thing to do when placing a barrier between two properties, even when you're <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/privacy-fence-ideas.htm">installing a privacy fence</a>.</p></div>

Q: How strong are glass fences?

• <div><p>Glass fences are extremely strong. You can drop 10mm thick tempered glass on concrete and it wouldn't break. Considering that certain types of glass are bulletproof, glass has the capacity to be exceptionally durable and resistant to breaking. Certain types of glass, like laminated glass, are designed to not shatter at all, but rather break into giant pieces.</p></div>

We hired Curtis to install a vinyl fence for our backyard. He showed up when he said he would and got right to work measuring for our new fence. Once our fence and supplies were delivered he had our fence up and ready to use within 3 days. We couldnâ t be happier with our new fence.
