Q: Are silt fences effective?

• <div><p>Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don&rsquo;t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You&rsquo;ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should strands be from each other?

• <div><p>The bottom strand should sit between 12 to 15 inches from the ground. If you have a problem with small critters, you can aim for 8 inches. Three-strand fences should be 16 to 19 inches apart, four-strand fences should be 10 to 12 inches apart, and five-strand fences should be 8 and 10 inches apart.</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: Does electric fencing use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Electric fences use very little energy and shouldn&rsquo;t cause any surprises on your next energy bill; You may only notice an extra couple of dollars on the bill. While electric fences don&rsquo;t consume much energy, they still need it. If you have a power outage after a storm, your electric fence will likely stop working.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy wood fence panels or build your own?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually cheaper to buy pre-made fence panels than to build your own. This surprises many people since DIY tasks so often save money. However, large stores don&rsquo;t have to pay the same amount per board of wood that homeowners do, allowing them to sell pre-made panels at a more cost-effective rate. Pre-made panels also save a great deal of time, energy, and guesswork. The drawback is that they are harder to customize to the shape and slope of your yard.</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.
