Should lattice touch the ground?

• <div><p>Lattice should not touch the ground, as it creates a possibility for rot and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pest-control-termites.htm">termite infestation</a>. It’s best to leave a gap of 3 or 4 inches at the bottom for airflow and to keep the wood dry. You can add stones, bricks, or other decorative pieces to conceal the bottom of the lattice if desired.</p></div>

Q: How close to the property line can I build a fence?

• <div><p>Knowing how close to the property line you can build a fence is an important planning step in your fence installation project. In many U.S. states, you are allowed to build a fence directly on the property line as long as your neighbor signs off on the plan. But check with your state government because some states and municipalities require a couple of inches before your property line.</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 long do fence posts last in concrete?

• <div><p>A fence post set in concrete lasts anywhere from five to over 25 years, depending on how well the concrete was applied and the fence post&rsquo;s material. Untreated wood posts in concrete could last less than 10 years, but a durable, treated wood set in properly applied concrete could last a few decades. However, all fence posts will wear out eventually, so expect to need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-a-fence-post.htm">replace your fence post</a> every five to 15 years.</p></div>

Q: What's the best type of temporary fencing?

• <div><p>The best type of temporary fencing depends on why you need fencing in the first place. If you're simply trying to warn people to stay away from an ongoing construction project, plastic orange fencing may be enough. Barricade fencing is ideal if you're trying to block off small areas. Security fencing may be necessary if you're trying to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism.</p></div>

Amazing crew! Their quote was very reasonable, they came in with a plan and executed it in a very timely manor. I had two trees, both next to my chain fence. They were able to either work around or take down the fence to prevent damage and then they replaced the fence just as it was. Their...

I liked that I was shown photos of various kinds of fences. The process was explained from start to finish, so I knew what to expect. The workman showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, and asked my preference on a few things, instead of just doing it their way. They, even, carted...
