How do you anchor a temporary fence?

• <div><p>You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence, ranging in cost and ease of installation. Sandbags are one solution, but may not hold up if you have inclement weather with strong winds. Spike and bolts are another alternative. While they’re inexpensive and easy to install, it can be difficult if your ground is too soft for in-ground drilling. Wind braces are another option—be sure to bolt these into the ground as well. While they can withstand turbulent wind, they can also be difficult to install if the ground is too soft.</p></div>

Q: What can you put on a fence for privacy?

• <div><p>Planting greenery on a fence can help achieve more privacy, whether it&rsquo;s shrubs along a picket or chain link fence or rolls of faux greenery to help create a solid-colored backdrop beyond the fence line. You can also try adding more lattice or paneling across a fence so that there are fewer places where passing eyeballs can see in.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest option for fencing?

• <div><p>When it comes to materials, wire fences are the cheapest option. The average cost for a 150-foot wire fence is <b>$1,350</b>. The next cheapest material is chain-link, followed by wood.</p><p>As far as the style of fence, smaller, less private fences are cheaper than large, elaborate fences that block your whole yard. That&rsquo;s why split-rail fences are the cheapest option for wooden fences. They cost roughly <b>$10 to $30 per linear foot</b>.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should a four-by-four fence post be?

• <div><p>The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about <b>6 to 8 feet</b> between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing. </p></div>

Q: How much longer will a fence last if it is stained?

• <div><p>Moisture and rot are the largest threat to wooden fences. Stain can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-wood-fencing-last.htm">help your wood fence last</a> 15 to 20 years, but only if you choose a stain with waterproofing qualities or add a sealant. Oil-based stains create a thicker moisture barrier than water-based stains, though both are mold and mildew resistant. You&rsquo;ll generally need to re-stain your fence every one to eight years to get full protection.</p></div>
