"Great service fence is just as described. Very pleased with it and with the installers, if you need a good fence for reasonable price call Don Dale fence"
"Hardy did a great job at a fair price. Was respectful and made some great suggestions AND stopped me from making an expensive bad decision on placement. Highly recommend!!"
"The team was polite and professional. They arrived on time complete the project in two days which were two of the hottest days of the year. However, they neglected to install the quoted post caps, which I had to follow up on to get installed. Also, a number of the boards installed were significantly bent."
"We had a few delays because of the rain. But when stopped raining they showed up on time and started the project. They finished the gate next day. Clean up the trash and hauled it away. I would recommend EZHome to have a fence installed."
"Came by on Sunday to give me an estimate and came back yesterday to do the job. Which was raking up some leaves in my front and back yard. Amazing job 10 out of 10."
"I cannot recommend Logan and Southern Solutions highly enough! Logan was incredibly personable and professional, and my new gate came out wonderfully. The next day, I asked him about an existing post that wasn’t level, completely unrelated to his work, and he came back out that same day to take a look. He even offered to return and correct some existing posts while waiving the labor to make sure I was 100% satisfied. Great attitude, work ethic, and customer service. Cordial, attentive, and genuinely committed to doing right by his customers. Highly recommend!"
The most affordable metal fence type is wire at just $3 to $5 per linear foot. Wire fences come in a variety of styles and do a good job of marking perimeters and keeping animals in or out of certain areas. While they’re very easy to install and repair, many homeowners find them unattractive, and many homeowners associations won’t allow them.
Determining the best type of fence to contain your pet can be tricky. Consult a pet fence installer and consider the following questions:
What size pet do you have? Some fence types, like chain link, are too short to contain large dogs.
Is digging an issue? Some fences, like brick or stone, help minimize digging at the fence line, where wood fences aren’t as adequate.
Do you need to block your pet’s view of the neighbor's yard? Some fences, like metal iron fencing and chain link, don’t offer an obstructed view.
A chain link fence typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, but with proper maintenance, it can last for 30 years or more. To preserve the fence, it's important to keep the mesh wire tight, which can be done with a come-along tool every 6 to 12 months. Investing in a fence with a galvanized, powder-coated, or vinyl-coated finish can increase its lifespan to 20 to 30 years and reduce maintenance needs, as these coatings provide extra protection against the elements.
Traditional bamboo fences use twine to attach pickets to posts and stringers, but you have to keep an eye on the twine, as it will deteriorate over time. Alternatively, you can fasten bamboo pickets to framing using fence screws.
In most cases, you will need a building permit to put up a vinyl fence, especially if the fence is sitting on or close to your property line. You can ask your local building department or fence installation company if your fence project will require a permit. If so, you can expect it to cost between $20 and $60. Your fence installer should pull the permit for you. Building without a permit could eventually require you to pay again to remove the fence and reinstall it after getting the job approved.
