Q: How do I keep my dog from digging under the fence?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-dogs-from-digging-under-fence.htm">keep a dog from digging under a fence</a> by filling existing holes in your yard, installing a wire to your fence bottom, burying your fence bottom, making a designated digging spot, and removing visual stimuli. You can also dissuade your dog from wanting to dig under your fence and escape by scheduling more one-on-one playtime and ensuring they are getting enough exercise to keep them stimulated.</p></div>

Q: What steps can I take to extend the lifespan of my chain link fence?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, inspect for rust, and tighten loose hardware to extend its lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Why is my fence gate sagging?

• <div><p>A fence gate can sag for a number of reasons. It often happens if the hinges are damaged or if the hinge screws are loose. Gates can also slump if the supporting fence posts start to lean or come out of place. This means that <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fix-a-sagging-gate.htm">fixing a sagging gate</a> is often as simple as tightening a few screws or upgrading the hinges. </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: How do you stabilize a fence post?

• <div><p>Concrete is one of the easiest, most cost-efficient, and most effective ways to stabilize a fence post. To stabilize a fence post with concrete, you&rsquo;ll dig a hole around the post in question and fill it up with concrete&mdash;easy as that. Concrete lasts about 50 years on average, so it&rsquo;s a long-term solution.</p></div>

"Not the best job done. We have an issue with the fit of an attic access panel and got an argument about the way the work was specified and strong resistance to fixing it properly. The panel has a gap along an edge and scrapes a side on opening it. Both not acceptable. They were not easy to deal with on the quality of the work. We will not be using them again."
