Q: Can I use green branches for fence weaving?

• <div><p>Green branches are more flexible and easier to work with, but they'll shrink as they dry, which can loosen your fence weave over time&mdash;so you'll need to weave them extra tight to account for shrinkage. Some species, particularly willow, may also try to sprout when used green. For these reasons, it&rsquo;s typically easiest to use branches that have dried for a week or two. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wood fence?

• <div><p>Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do you join a silt fence?

• <div><p>When your rolls of silt fence join together, you&rsquo;ll want to overlap them to make sure they&rsquo;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. </p></div>
