How far apart should chain link fence posts be?

• <div><p>For a chain link fence, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-far-apart-should-fence-posts-be.htm">ideal distance between fence posts</a> is 6 to 10 feet apart. Measure carefully to ensure even spacing, and resist the temptation to extend the distance more than 10 feet. Doing so could impact the stability of your fence. </p></div>

Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect fence installation costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material, labor, and additional features like gates or decorative elements.</p></div>

Q: Is a chain-link fence less expensive than wood?

• <div><p>In the vast majority of cases, chain-link fences are less expensive than wood fences. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-wood-fence.htm">Installing a wood fence costs</a> anywhere from 20% to 30% more than a chain-link fence, or an average of $3,100, whereas a similarly sized chain-link fence will average around <b>$2,400</b>. Even with add-ons and additional protective finishes, a chain-link fence is very likely to cost you less than a wood fence. The only exception would be a split rail wood fence, which can cost about half the price of a chain-link fence or less. </p></div>

Q: Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>For the most part, goats are friendly and won&rsquo;t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don&rsquo;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&rsquo;re near children or pets.</p></div>

Q: Should my fence follow the ground or be level?

• <div><p>Most people prefer to keep the fence level by &ldquo;stepping&rdquo; the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.</p></div>

The crew did a great job installing 125' of vinyl fence and gate. They navigated around thick shrubs and trees while maintaining a level, straight line. They did it in a timely manner and minimized messing up the yard. Although vinyl fencing is expensive, pricing seemed very competitive with...
