Q: 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>

Q: What is the best height for a garden fence?

• <div><p>The recommended height for a garden fence depends on its primary purpose. For pest control, the necessary height varies by animal. To keep out small pests like rabbits, a fence should be at least two to three feet tall. If you live in an area with deer, you will need a much taller fence, at least five feet high, to prevent them from jumping over. If the main goal is privacy, the fence should be at least seven feet tall. For purely decorative fences, the height is a matter of personal preference.</p></div>

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: Can you put a fence over a gas line?

• <div><p>You can sometimes install a fence over a gas line. Fence installation typically requires a two-foot depth for posts, so if the lines are shallower than two feet, you cannot put a fence post over the line. You&rsquo;ll need to call 811 to get the gas lines located and marked before you start the project.</p></div>

Q: What does installing a picket fence include?

• <div><p>Installing a picket fence includes measuring and marking the area where you plan to build the fence, laying out all of the materials, digging post holes, setting the posts using concrete, measuring the rails, attaching the rails, attaching the pickets, and then painting or staining the fence if you chose a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-pressured-treated-pine-popular-fence-posts.htm">wooden fence material</a>. </p></div>
