"Salvation did an amazing job with this fence—actually two fences: one was a privacy fence between my house and my neighbor's, the other a picket fence around my yard. The project was completed with great care, precision, and attention to detail. Beautiful work, highly recommended."

"If you need a fence, call Superior Fence Co. – you won’t regret it! Paul and his team are simply the best. When we purchased our new home, we knew we’d need a fence for our three dogs—and we didn’t hesitate to reach out to the company we trusted. This is actually the third fence Superior Fence Co. has installed for us. At our previous home, they handled both a backyard fence and a garden fence, tackling a very wet and steeply sloped yard with incredible skill and care. They truly went above and beyond to make it work. We couldn’t be happier with the results at our new home. The quality, professionalism, and customer service are unmatched."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A silt fence should be buried in a trench that is 6 to 12 inches deep. A depth of at least 6 to 8 inches is necessary to prevent water and sediment from running underneath the fence. A deeper trench, up to 12 inches, provides better anchoring during wet and windy weather. To ensure proper installation, look for a red line on the silt fence fabric, which often indicates the correct burial depth. Always adhere to local guidelines and regulations; a professional contractor will be familiar with these requirements.

The average lifespan of a wood fence is 15 to 20 years, but some can last for 40 years or more depending on several factors. The type of wood is crucial; for example, untreated pine may only last 5 to 10 years, while pressure-treated pine can last up to 20 years, and cedar's natural resistance can extend its life to 40 years. Other factors include local weather conditions, with wet and windy climates causing faster deterioration, and the quality of maintenance. Higher-end wood, metal posts, and privacy fence styles also tend to last longer.

Regular staining, sealing, and inspecting for rot or insect damage prolongs fence lifespan.

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’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.

The best type of temporary fencing depends on its intended purpose. For example, if you need it for added security, to ensure the safety of children and animals, or to keep pests out of a garden, the ideal material will differ. For simply warning people away from a construction project, plastic orange fencing may be sufficient. Barricade fencing is a good choice for blocking off small areas. If you need to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism, more robust security fencing is necessary. Once you understand the primary function, you can select the most durable and cost-effective material for your specific project and yard size.
