Q: How long does a bamboo fence last?

• <div><p>A bamboo <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">fence can last</a> up to 20 years when properly installed and maintained. Bamboo is a durable material, but to get the most life out of it, you should clean and seal the fence every few years. Staining the bamboo can also restore the appearance if the color fades over time. Use screws to fasten the bamboo, rather than twine, to ensure the bamboo fence stays together longer. </p></div>

Q: What benefits does painting or staining offer to fences?

• <div><p>Painting or staining protects fences from environmental damage, enhances durability, and improves curb appeal with a fresh, customized look.</p></div>

Q: How long does a barbed wire fence last?

• <div><p>A barbed wire fence will last an average of 15 to 20 years, but the life expectancy can range anywhere between five and 50 years. Thicker wires last longer, as do fences made with galvanized metal. If the barbed wire fence is in a climate with harsh winters and summers, it likely won&rsquo;t last more than 10 to 15 years. Failing to keep up with maintenance and repairs will also shorten the lifespan of a barbed wire fence.</p></div>

Q: How much of a gap should be under a fence?

• <div><p>When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn&rsquo;t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.</p></div>

I was happy with them because Chris offered some suggestions to make the yard work better for me. But the options are not probably the best for my needs. The gravel and mulch areas are great and the drip system seem to be working just fine but the mulch may not be a good choice for my dogs since...
