"We hired Southland Structures to build a fence around our backyard, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. James was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, offering several options that suited our needs and budget. He and his crew were professional, attentive, and truly committed to making sure the final result matched our vision. They asked detailed questions, listened closely, and delivered exactly what we were hoping for—if not more. The fence turned out even better than we imagined. To top it off, they started the project well ahead of schedule and completed the entire build in just two days. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend James, his team, and Southland Structures for any project. They’ll be our first call for any future building needs."

"Erik Finley and his assistant Jamie did an excellent job building a 5-ft wide, 68-ft long bridge across part of my lake and building an 8x8 dock on one end and a 5x8 landing with staircase and handrails on the high end of the bridge. Professionalism and customer focus is how his company operates. A joy to work with. I would recommend BNF Construction to anyone who appreciates quality work, attention to detail, and economical price."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.

If you hire a fence installer for the project, the time it takes to build a fence 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.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
