What is the safest pool fence material?

• <div><p>Mesh and tempered glass are both very safe pool fencing options because they’re difficult to climb. You might also want to consider installing a pool safety net, and always make sure your pool is maintained properly. You could even consider a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-build-swimming-pool-enclosure.htm">swimming pool enclosure</a> that surrounds the pool on all sides.</p></div>

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’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>

What is the average cost of a fence around a pool?

• <div><p>The price of purchasing and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-fence-cost.htm">installing a fence around a pool</a> is dependent on the type of fence material you choose. On average, a pool fence can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000+. Chain link and mesh fences are the least expensive options, while a fully glass fence will cost the most. Having an inground or above-ground pool will also be a key factor in determining fence prices.</p></div>

How high should fence pickets be off the ground?

• <div><p>Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.</p></div>

Can I install a wrought iron fence myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small sections. Professional installation ensures proper alignment and durability for larger projects.</p></div>

"Hired them for a basic residential addition foundation job and they completely screwed up every step of the process. They don’t know how to read plans or pour straight out flat foundations. They don’t pay their subs which is coming back on us now. They won't respond to any communications. A lien has now been filed on the project because of their lack of payment. Shocked at their ineptitude. Very friendly people, but they should not be construction business owners."
