I build simple, inexpensive, solid, fences and then I guarantee them....don't you wish everyone guaranteed their work?

"Adequate job on fence. Problem: repeatedly …maybe six times requested receipt for service performed asap for insurance (Helene hurricane damage), but never received receipt by email, text, or regular mail. Just one more hassle to add to the many after Helene."

Invisible Fence® Brand keeps over 1,000,000 pets Safe at Home providing pet owners with total peace of mind through trusted, superior technology and proven training procedures. 99.5% success rate. Industry's best guarantee.

"Two techs from Invisible Fence came out and were friendly, efficient and professional. The job was done well and in less time than forecast. I had called 811 on Monday to mark all the underground cables (the installation was on Friday), but only the water people showed up. No one else showed up by Friday. Apparently more lead time was needed. The Invisible Fence guys said that it was not a problem since their wire was not buried deeply, and thus not should not interfere with existing buried lines. My dog was familiar with an electric collar system, so the training requirements for him were less than if he did not have such prior experience. All in all, it was a good installation. We will see how the future support goes, but it has started well."

Animal Fencing questions, answered by experts

The distance between fence posts depends on the type of fence you’re installing. Wood and metal fence posts should be between 5 feet and 8 feet apart. Chain-link fence posts can be closer together at 4 feet apart, or the spacing can be up to 10 feet apart. Vinyl fence posts can be between 6 feet and 8 feet apart, and wire fence posts can be up to 12 feet apart.

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. 

How long a wood fence lasts depends on the type of wood and its style. The design of a shadow box fence makes it more durable than other fence types because the alternating pickets disperse the weight across the rails. As a result, you won’t have to worry as much about sagging or failing pickets. However, remember that the hollow design of a shadow box fence makes it more difficult to apply the sealer, which is crucial to extending its life.

Typically, you need one to two coats of stain for a fence. The number of coats you need can vary depending on the porosity of the type of wood. You can also apply an extra coat of stain if you want the color to look more saturated or to cover lap marks and patchy spots.

Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan.
