Do I need HOA approval for fence repairs?

• <div><p>If you’re part of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-power-do-hoas-have.htm">homeowners association</a> (HOA), you’ll need to speak with them regarding your fence repairs prior to starting work. Sometimes, you’ll need HOA approval to start repairs and ensure that the completed project meets their standards. In other cases, direct approval might not be required to start the project. Speaking with your HOA first will help avoid any unnecessary fines and headaches.</p></div>

Q: What type of fence lasts the longest?

• <div><p>Metal fences, including galvanized chain link and aluminum, have the longest lifespans. Chain link and aluminum fences can look great for many decades. In contrast, a vinyl fence has a life span of about 20 to 30 years, while the average wood fence can survive for about 15 years. </p></div>

Q: How long does a black chain-link fence last?

• <div><p>Black chain-link fences last an average of 15 to 20 years. The thicker a fence's wire gauge, the longer it will tend to last. The black vinyl coating gives the fence rust and corrosion resistance, but its life span may be lower in wet, humid, or coastal climates where moisture or salty air can corrode the coating more quickly.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to nail or screw fence pickets?

• <div><p>Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">type of wood fencing</a> and the variety of wood you choose.</p></div>

Q: What is the average cost of a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>The price of purchasing and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-fence-cost.htm">installing a fence around a pool</a> is dependent on the type of fence material you choose. On average, a pool fence can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000+. Chain link and mesh fences are the least expensive options, while a fully glass fence will cost the most. Having an inground or above-ground pool will also be a key factor in determining fence prices.</p></div>
