Q: How many coats of stain are needed for a fence?

• <div><p>Typically, a fence requires one to two coats of stain. The exact number can vary depending on the porosity of the wood. For specific guidance, it's best to check the manufacturer's instructions. After applying the first coat and letting it dry completely, you can assess the finish. If it appears patchy, uneven, or you want a more saturated color, a second coat is recommended. An extra coat can also help cover lap marks.</p></div>

Q: Do you stain both sides of a fence?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can&rsquo;t see it from your side of the lawn.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to build a fence?

• <div><p>If you hire a fence installer for the project, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-fence.htm">time it takes to build a fence</a> is about 20 to 30 hours. Tackling the project yourself will take around 40 to 50 hours. It can take longer if you need to obtain permits, level the ground, remove the old fence, or remove a tree.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: How do I keep my dog from digging under the fence?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/keep-dogs-from-digging-under-fence.htm">keep a dog from digging under a fence</a> by filling existing holes in your yard, installing a wire to your fence bottom, burying your fence bottom, making a designated digging spot, and removing visual stimuli. You can also dissuade your dog from wanting to dig under your fence and escape by scheduling more one-on-one playtime and ensuring they are getting enough exercise to keep them stimulated.</p></div>

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>

These guys worked quite hard in the heat to cut up a big old pine tree with a large stump/root area uprooted from a past storm. And then cut down 7other trees in the same area. They cleaned up any remaining debris and hauled off the big stuff. All at a reasonable price. I'll work with them again!

"My Pro was amazing!! I needed a two strand Hot wire fence ran for my MULE and a gate set. He Kept things simple ,explained things, set the expectation and met it !! Everything was squared up and nice and tight. My metal gates are extremely sturdy He gets a material list upfront so when he gets the job started it gets finished without any interruption of running back-and-forth to the store. I had him come back pretty quick to set the same kind of fence on my side yard and he knocked it out less than a day. I have been more than impressed and look forward to the other projects I have for him to do."
