Q: Does a horizontal or vertical fence cost more?

• <div><p>When comparing them side by side, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/horizontal-fence-vs-vertical-fence.htm">horizontal fences cost more than vertical fences</a> but they do tend to be more durable. Since the majority of fences feature vertical pickets, a horizontal fence offers a more distinct look. On the other hand, horizontal fences may not always make the best privacy fences since the rails could have slight gaps.</p></div>

Q: What's the best type of temporary fencing?

• <div><p>The best type of temporary fencing depends on why you need fencing in the first place. If you're simply trying to warn people to stay away from an ongoing construction project, plastic orange fencing may be enough. Barricade fencing is ideal if you're trying to block off small areas. Security fencing may be necessary if you're trying to protect an area from trespassing, theft, or vandalism.</p></div>

Q: How long does a pipe fence last?

• <div><p>A well-maintained pipe fence can last anywhere from<b> 20 to 50 years</b>, depending on factors like material, climate, and maintenance. Galvanized or coated pipes resist rust and corrosion better than other alternatives, so they tend to last longer, especially in humid or wet environments. Routine maintenance, such as inspecting for damage, removing rust, and applying protective coatings, helps extend the fence&rsquo;s lifespan significantly.</p></div>

Q: Do fence posts need to be below the frost line?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>
