"This company is top notch!!! Our entire backyard fence (360 feet of fence) was destroyed in the hurricane. They were amazing to deal with from the very first phone call. Very responsive in providing their estimate and the wait to have installation performed was not long considering all the work backed up from storm damage. The work crew was very polite and hard working and the quality of the installed fence was excellent. Price was also better than other quotes."

"I engaged Top Rail to fully fence in over an acre and put in two tall privacy fences and gates. From the initial consultation with Terry, to the super responsive feedback and Q&A with owner Drew, to the exceptional on-site communication from Ben, the experience was a 10/10. I would hire them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone. Their work product is outstanding!"

"Alex is a true craftsman He built a 300 foot 6 foot tall privacy fence for us. It has both a small and large gate. He also repaired our vinyl fence and tied it in with the new fence. Alex is kind, prompt, attentive, and competent. He has worked in construction most of his life. He communicated with us well. He also helped with some small additional projects at no cost. I recommend him without reservation. Steve, Hampstead, NC February 2022"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.

When your rolls of silt fence join together, you’ll want to overlap them to make sure they’re still as effective at keeping water out without requiring fastening together. Overlap two sections of the silt fencing so that two sheets of fabric cover the span of two posts. If you want to fasten them together, you can staple them or use a zip tie, depending on whether your posts are metal or wood. 

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.

Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.

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.
