How far apart should posts be for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance does wrought iron fencing require?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, inspect for rust, and repaint or seal to prevent corrosion.</p></div>

Q: What materials are used for fences?

• <div><p>Wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum are common materials. Choose based on durability, maintenance needs, and aesthetics.</p></div>

Q: How deep should I bury my garden fence?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to bury the garden fence about 1 foot underground. It&rsquo;s tempting to save on materials by burying the fence just a couple of inches, but if you do so, determined pests will still be able to dig under the fence and access your plants. Burying your garden fence deep into the soil is an important step that allows you to attach a wire barrier to the fencing. </p><p> Burrowing animals (like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/voles-vs-moles.htm">voles, moles</a>, rabbits, and gophers) can&rsquo;t dig or chew through this wiring, meaning that you&rsquo;ll be keeping your prized petunias or your robust veggie garden from being eaten.</p></div>

Q: Is metal fencing more expensive than other fencing materials?

• <div><p>Metal fencing is one of the most expensive options and is certainly more expensive than vinyl and oftentimes, wood. Specialized electric fences and, in certain cases, concrete can be more expensive than metal, but wrought iron is one of the most expensive fencing options, which is why you see it most often on expensive estates and in affluent zip codes. </p></div>
