When should you not stain a fence?

• <div><p>You should avoid staining your fence during hot weather or when it’s raining, because heat and moisture can make the stain dry unevenly. Instead, the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-time-to-stain-a-fence.htm">best time to stain a fence</a> is when the weather is dry and temperatures are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically, spring and fall are the best seasons for a fence-staining project.</p></div>

Can you build a stockade fence yourself?

• <div><p>You can DIY a stockade fence installation, but prepare to put in some good sweat equity. For the best results, carefully plan the exact location of your fence before you break ground. In particular, carefully map out your post locations before setting them in concrete. Be sure to call your local utility company before digging to avoid damaging underground wiring and causing severe injury.</p><p>On the other hand, installing stockade fencing on your own might sound too overwhelming. It’s certainly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides the hard work, you must install it properly to avoid gaps. Unless you’re confident you can get the job done right, <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-privacy-fencing/">hiring a privacy fence installer near you</a> is the way to go.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a fence on a setback?

• <div><p>A setback is an area of space between your fence and the property line, meaning you build a fence a few inches before your neighbor&rsquo;s property begins. You can build your fence on a setback&mdash;some communities recommend this&mdash;but this means a sliver of your property will be on your neighbor&rsquo;s side of your fence.</p></div>

Q: What are alternatives to a snow fence?

• <div><p>One of the best alternatives to a snow fence is to plant a living snow fence of grasses, shrubs, trees, and crops like corn. Another temporary option is using hay bales to create a barrier to disrupt the wind flow, and cause snow to accumulate in specific areas. However, hay bales are not a permanent option, so keep that in mind when choosing what type of snow fence you should install.</p></div>

Q: Can I build a fence against my neighbor's fence?

• <div><p>You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.</p></div>

From the time that Ronnie came out to do the estmate to the time the crew drove away was a great experience. I feel that the guys on the crew went above and beyond to make sure that my dog would be safe and not able to get out of the fence. I am extremely happy with the job that was done.

At first, Joe was very responsive. Gave us a quote that we thought was too high, then he gave us another quote which seemed more reasonable. He insisted on purchasing the fencing materials and against our better judgement, we wrote him a check for the amount that he said it would cost. The rainy...
