"Salt Valley Fence Company did an awesome job with my new fence! In the beginning, Matt did multiple quotes for me of variations that I was considering. My fence was up in two days. One day to put up the posts and a week later, they put up the fence. The price didn't waiver from the original quote. I love the outcome, and couldn't be happier with my decision to work with SV Fence Company!"

Had some delays with getting material and weather delays with getting the posts in and pouring concrete, but once they did they got straight to work and got everything done within a couple days, it was a week-week and a half all together to get over 200 feet of fence up! They were extremely affordable, Efficient and showed their experience! Ty was very easy to talk to, his partner derrick was very polite and easy to talk to as well, I am recommending them to everyone who asks! If you want an amazing job done locally and affordably, go with Ty!"

A metal fence can last for over 30 years if maintained correctly, though the exact lifespan varies by material. For instance, chain-link and aluminum fences can function well for 25 to 30 years, while corrugated metal fences may last up to 60 years with regular maintenance. The lifespan can be shortened by harsh weather, abuse, or lower-quality materials. Galvanized metal tends to last longer due to its protective barrier, whereas sheet and corrugated metal may rust faster than solid pieces.
Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won’t be as sturdy.
That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won’t work well for metal posts.
Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.
When it comes to maintenance, vinyl fencing is your best bet for not having to worry about scratches, repainting, or wear and tear from the weather. Vinyl is a material made of polyvinyl chloride (also known as PVC) that can last for years without requiring repairs or maintenance. It’s also one of the lower-cost fence materials to build with.
For a chain link fence, the ideal distance between fence posts 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.
