"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!"
"Oscar did a great job repairing my wood fence. He went out of his way to get the correct posts to match the rest of my fence replacing 3 posts and re-attaching 5 sections of fence to the new posts. My fence is now set for many years to come!"
"There are a lot of choices on what you can do on a home for “projects”. The best decision I made in 30 years was to fix our dilapidated fence. So I had choices! Lots of choices. I was guided to Ruben at M & R Fence company and am so thankful for the recommendation that I wanted to do the same for someone else who is thinking of putting up a new fence or replacing an old one. They exceeded our expectations. Off the charts exceeding. So look no further."
"I have hired Major Way Fencing several times to repair our wood fence. Between the wind and storms we needed help. Timely and fair pricing. They do what they say they will do when they say they will fix it. I will never use anyone else."
"The project was top notch. Not only did they consistently show up on time, but they finished the project early and were willing to reschedule the final walkthrough multiple times to accommodate our schedule. Final project turned out great! They worked efficiently and paid close attention to details. The price was way below the competition. I have received many compliments."
"Professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The quality of the work was excellent, and everything was completed promptly and efficiently. I would highly recommend their services."
Yes, you can use a floor jack to remove fence posts. Attach a stem to the base of the fence post so you can position the floor jack underneath. The stem can be a scrap piece of wood attached with nails or a sturdy nail itself. Put the jack beneath the stem and push the lever to lift up on the fence post and remove it from the ground.
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.
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.
To effectively keep animals out of your yard with a fence, choose a fence that anchors to the ground to deter digging. Also, consider adding a barrier below the fence to prevent burrowing.
To make your yard less desirable to animals, eliminate food sources like a vegetable garden, and ensure your garbage cans are sealed and tamper-proof. Installing motion-activated devices like lights or sprinklers will startle animal intruders. Also, a fence won’t work well if you forget to keep gates closed and secure. If you still face persistent animal intrusion issues, contact a wildlife control expert who can offer specialized solutions.
When choosing wood for a fence, consider your budget and geographic region. The most popular and common types of wood are cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is a top choice due to its natural durability, resistance to rot and insects, and budget-friendly price. Redwood is another durable, tried-and-true option, though it is typically more expensive. Pressure-treated wood, such as pine, is also a widely used and popular alternative. These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes future repairs and replacements easier. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them excellent choices for most fence installation projects.
