Q: How long does a metal fence last?

• <div><p>A metal fence can last for over 30 years if maintained correctly, though the exact lifespan varies by material. For instance, chain-link and aluminum fences can function well for 25 to 30 years, while corrugated metal fences may last up to 60 years with regular maintenance. The lifespan can be shortened by harsh weather, abuse, or lower-quality materials. Galvanized metal tends to last longer due to its protective barrier, whereas sheet and corrugated metal may rust faster than solid pieces.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a building permit to put up a vinyl fence?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-building-permit-cost.htm">building permit</a> to put up a vinyl fence, especially if the fence is sitting on or close to your property line. You can ask your local building department or fence installation company if your fence project will require a permit. If so, you can expect it to cost between <b>$20 and $60</b>. Your fence installer should pull the permit for you. Building without a permit could eventually require you to pay again to remove the fence and reinstall it after getting the job approved.</p></div>

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: How high should a dog fence be?

• <div><p>Generally, the height of your dog fence should be 3 times the distance from the ground to your dog&rsquo;s shoulder. For most small breeds, a 4-foot high fence will be more than enough to keep them from jumping out. Medium-sized breeds like Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and German Shepherds will need at least a 5-6 foot fence to stay contained. Large breeds that are also excellent jumpers, such as Greyhounds, may need a 7-foot high fence. </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>
