Get matched with top fencing pros in Charleston, PA

Q: Can I use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you&rsquo;ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn&rsquo;t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You&rsquo;ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. </p></div>

Q: Do fence posts need to be below the frost line?

• <div><p>Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wattle fence?

• <div><p>Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan. </p></div>

Q: What type of fence is best for a farm?

• <div><p>Many types of farm fencing can work well for your farm, but it depends on the type of animal you need to contain and the size of your property. If you want something quick and temporary, go with a metal T-post fence. If you need something that will last forever, go with a synthetic fence made of composite material or PVC. Electric and barbed wire fences are often chosen for docile livestock, like pigs and cows. </p></div>

Q: Can I build a fence against my neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.</p></div>

They also cleaned some brick that was stained with white around the in and around the street numbers of our house located on the bricks to the left of the storm door, and we did not even solicit them for that. They were great, and I wish every former repair person or contractor that we have used previously were as thorough as they were in the work that they did for us. We will have them back for sure!
