Q: What type of wood is best for a split rail fence?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">types of wood fencing</a> that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.</p><p>Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you&rsquo;re going for, check out vinyl fencing.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a fence and a privacy fence?

• <div><p>All fences offer some degree of privacy, but standard perimeter fences may not be designed with that in mind. Dedicated privacy fences, however, tend to enclose smaller areas and feature more high-end materials that truly emphasize seclusion and comfort. Additionally, privacy fences typically offer fewer gaps to peek in through than standard fences, though you can likely adjust that to suit your preferences. </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>

Q: Can you touch an electric fence and not get shocked?

• <div><p>You shouldn&rsquo;t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.</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>
