"We highly recommend Shortley Fencing! They were very affordable and did a great job. They installed aluminum fencing as well as a wooden privacy fence, and tore out all the old fencing. We did have to wait longer than the 6-8 weeks they told us from when we signed the contract. And there is mud left in our driveway and on an outdoor area rug. But overall we are very pleased and so are our two dogs 😊"

"Frank's crew did an absolutely fantastic job. Upper St. Clair has very strict rules regarding fences, and it took months to get the correct materials and spacing approved. Frank was helpful, professional, and really knowledgeable about the entire process. With COVID 19 it also tool a lot longer to get the materials delivered; when they finally arrived, his crew showed up on schedule, and worked tirelessly until the job was done. They asked me throughout the job if I liked it, if I wanted anything changed, etc. I couldn't be more satisfied with the end result and I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!!!"

"Ryan went above and beyond are expectations. He gave us a backyard again. Ryan takes his work seriously and is a perfectionist, also fair with his price. I would highly recommend him and plan on using him again on future projects."

"I needed someone to do a major brush removal and some tree trimming. I contacted 3 landscaping services for my project prior to finding Betschart on HomeAdvisor. Brian at Betschart was the only one to respond to me, and he did so within a few hours of my inquiry. We met at the job site within 2 days, and he sent me an estimate that evening. (Tuesday.) We spent the next 2 days emailing the contract back and forth, and on Friday he told me they would begin the work either Monday or Tuesday. They were there on Monday, and the total job took 4 days to complete. The workers were efficient, fast to respond to any requests that I made, and did an overall excellent job of clearing and removing some large overhanging tree branches, and a awful lot of brush from around the house, the garage, and other areas on the property. They ground out the stumps, and did a very good job cleaning up and removing the debris. I highly recommend Brian and his group! Once I am ready to clean up the rest of the property, this is the only call I will make."

"It was the best experience I’ve had in general contracting. I just bought a new house and I needed a fence to be able to move because of huge dogs. They worked with me to get the fence done asap as they understood my situation. I had 4 ft aluminum installed off of my front porch and 5ft chain link around the entire back porch and backyard. I had 6 gates installed in total. All different sizes and most had to be built by Brian to fit grade of yard. They took all of my suggestions and then added to them to make my fences as safe and secure as possible. They are super dog friendly which made everything easy for me. They installed taller panels above my walls attached to house to further prevent my dogs from getting out and anything else from getting in. And we also decided that instead of replacing short railing of back porch to just fence it in with 4 ft chain link right into yard. When I asked for a quote on high tension wire I was told that that is included on all of his jobs."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

While cedar and pine are two of the most common wooden fence materials, everything from redwood to bamboo is also available. You can also purchase pressure-treated wood, which better withstands water damage and the threat of pests. The best wood for your fence will come down to your budget, local climate, and preferred look.

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

This depends mainly on how well the posts were installed and what type of wood was used to build the gate in the first place. Softwoods have a life expectancy of up to 15 years but can last slightly longer with regular maintenance and waterproofing treatments. By contrast, hardwoods can last up to 30 years with little care, so you may avoid costly replacements by spending a little more upfront.

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.
