"Izzy and his team do great work. We've hired them for both a large fencing/gate project and smaller porch railing tasks, and both were completed on time and with great professionalism. Izzy excels at troubleshooting and finding creative fixes. I highly recommend Aztec Fencing!"

Customers say: True professional

"I recommend this company~~ there was plenty of communication, everyone was friendly and they were very sweet to my dogs. The work is excellent and they asked me in advance how I wanted a few sections of the fence to sit on my property due to a large slope. I was thankful they did not assume and move along with the project-this showed they understood their work and the customer comes first."

"I found Shepherd fence to be extremely dependable, timely, they explained the work to be done and were hardworking. I was so stunned at the excellence of their cleanup after completing the work. I found my yard in immaculate condition. The workmanship was on point! Each team member was kind, and courteous. I added an enclosure after the fact for my trash cans and they completed that as well. I am so happy with my new fence. It has improved my property in value and appeal! Thank you Shepherd Fence you are not just a fence company you become family!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

The depth of your post hole depends on your post length. If you decide on a two-rail fence, the posts are likely 6 feet long. You want your hole to be at least 1/3 of the post length. In this case, your post hole should be two feet deep.

If you opt for a three-rail fence, the posts will typically be 7 feet long, meaning your post hole should be 28 inches deep.

While power washing isn't a requirement before you stain a fence, it can make the job much easier and faster while reducing manual labor requirements. The stain will not work if the wood is full of dirt and dust, so power washing, sometimes called pressure washing, is a fast and effective way to prepare the wood for staining. Remember that you need to stain or repaint relatively soon after the wood has dried so that there isn’t time for dust and dirt to build up again. 

As with any project or material, installing wrought iron fencing has advantages and disadvantages. Some pros and cons of this fence material include:

Pros

  • Long lifespan with proper maintenance

  • Very durable

  • Aesthetically pleasing

  • Functional as well as decorative

Cons

  • Requires regular maintenance and cleaning

  • Expensive compared to other fence materials

  • Limited privacy

Aluminum is among the longest-lasting fencing materials, with a lifespan of 30 to 50 years or more. One of the reasons it lasts so long is because aluminum is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. You can help prolong its lifespan by keeping it free of vegetation and cleaning it every few months with a hose and mild soap.

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.
