The best type of temporary fencing depends on why you need fencing in the first place. If you're simply trying to warn people to stay away from an ongoing construction project, plastic orange fencing may be enough. Barricade fencing is ideal if you're trying to block off small areas. Security fencing may be necessary if you're trying to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism.

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. 

A wrought iron fence costs about $3,150 on average. The price can range from as low as $470 to as high as $10,310 or more. The cost to install a wrought iron fence can vary dramatically depending on the size (in terms of height and linear feet), design complexity, shape, and add-ons such as gates and decorative flourishes. Consult a wrought iron fence professional with the measurements and specifications of your project to determine an accurate estimate.

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.
