Can you build a stockade fence yourself?

• <div><p>You can DIY a stockade fence installation, but prepare to put in some good sweat equity. For the best results, carefully plan the exact location of your fence before you break ground. In particular, carefully map out your post locations before setting them in concrete. Be sure to call your local utility company before digging to avoid damaging underground wiring and causing severe injury.</p><p>On the other hand, installing stockade fencing on your own might sound too overwhelming. It’s certainly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides the hard work, you must install it properly to avoid gaps. Unless you’re confident you can get the job done right, <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-privacy-fencing/">hiring a privacy fence installer near you</a> is the way to go.</p></div>

Q: Can professionals match new wood with existing fences?

• <div><p>Yes, finding compatible materials and finishes for seamless fixes.</p></div>

Q: Will deer crawl under a fence?

• <div><p>Deer can crawl under a fence if it has a gap of around 6 inches or more. Make sure to close all gaps at the bottom of your fence to keep deer out, and the bottom of the material should be tightly secured, or the deer will push right through it. As an added benefit, closing shorter gaps at the bottom of a fence can also keep rabbits out of your yard.</p></div>

Q: What type of fence is best for a farm?

• <div><p>Many types of farm fencing can work well for your farm, but it depends on the type of animal you need to contain and the size of your property. If you want something quick and temporary, go with a metal T-post fence. If you need something that will last forever, go with a synthetic fence made of composite material or PVC. Electric and barbed wire fences are often chosen for docile livestock, like pigs and cows. </p></div>

Q: Should fence post concrete be above ground?

• <div><p>Ideally, your concrete should set slightly above ground at an angle sloping away from the fence post. This will add extra support and allow water to run away from the wood fence post. Keeping water out will help prevent wood rot. Additionally, you can add soil on top of the concrete for a seamless finish. </p></div>

You couldnt find a better tree service. They went above and beyond in removing my trees and were very meticulous in cleaning up everything. I also recommend them to two of my friends and they did an excellent job there too. They did all of this at very reasonable prices .

Brendon was professional and helpful in cleaning up our yard this fall when we were unexpectedly not able to do it ourselves. He gave us a fair price and completed the job in a timely manner. Highly recommend using Frank's Tree Service.

Justin is a perfectionist, his craftmanship was apparent as my fence was not a run of the mill installation. He communicated very well along the way and I highly recommend him, he has integrity and his engineering background did come in handy during the project. He left the job site spotless.
