"I spoke with Alberto regarding a quote for a PVC fence and gate replacement. We had a video consultation, which was great! He was able to provide a quote right away using a really impressive system that allowed him to take measurements and calculate the cost during the consultation. Alberto was very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I felt comfortable throughout the entire process and am looking forward to having him replace my fence. Overall, I had a great experience and feel confident choosing this fence company!"

"Jose and his Dad are the hardest working men that I have ever seen. They designed and built from the ground up my new custom 2000' long by 5' high pipe fence with no climb horse wire. This fence runs along both sides of my driveway from the road to my house. The upright pipes are 8' apart with pipe top rail. It is curved and the land is partially up-hill in places. They installed 2 new 16' gates, 2 new 12' gates, hung 1 used 16' gate, and built 2 custom gates at the entrance. They tore down old fence and cut brush at the front of my property to build a 4 rail pipe entrance. They painted the entire new installation of the fence and even painted my existing pipe fence at the entrance so everything looks brand new. The most impressive and professional thing I observed during this entire fence job was when Jose's Dad took a grinder and cleaned every inch of the 2000' of pipe so that the pipe would be smooth and clean before they painted the fence. Jose not only gave me an estimate but he went the extra mile to let me know that he really wanted the job. He helped me design this fence from the bottom up and let me make modifications along the way. He helped me locate the best deals on the materials which included 2000' of used pipe, 10 - 200' rolls of no climb horse wire, 7 pallets of concrete, 4 new gates, and 2 horse wire panels for the 2 new pipe custom gates that Jose built from scratch. This is the nicest fence I have ever had and I owe this to Jose and his Dad. They built this fence as if it were their own. They always showed up early and worked steady all day. They were all business - no messing around at all - just good honest hard working men. I am a picky old lady perfectionist when it comes to work being performed on my property, but Jose is such a professional and addressed all of my concerns. They completed this custom fence job to 100% of my satisfaction and approval. I LOVE this fence and it will keep my horses safe for their entire lives. I highly recommend and respect the quality of work and the professional work ethics of J&R Welding!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

A silt fence should be buried in a trench that is 6 to 12 inches deep. A depth of at least 6 to 8 inches is necessary to prevent water and sediment from running underneath the fence. A deeper trench, up to 12 inches, provides better anchoring during wet and windy weather. To ensure proper installation, look for a red line on the silt fence fabric, which often indicates the correct burial depth. Always adhere to local guidelines and regulations; a professional contractor will be familiar with these requirements.

Galvanized metal, vinyl, and composite fences are known to be the longest-lasting options, often surviving for over 30 years with proper care. Metal fences, including galvanized chain link and aluminum, can look great for decades because the galvanization process adds a protective coating that resists weather and pests. Similarly, vinyl and composite materials are resistant to pests and can withstand harsh weather for many years. In comparison, a typical wood fence lasts about 15 years, and a standard vinyl fence has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.

The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire.

The cheapest farm fences are typically wire fences, which cost less to install than traditional lumber fences. Barbed wire is one of the most inexpensive options due to its simple materials, making it a good choice for low budgets. It is suitable for confining docile animals in large spaces, as it provides a visual barrier and a mild deterrent. Other options like hog wire and woven wire fences are also cost-effective because they require less lumber than a full wooden fence. These types of wire fences are strong, long-lasting, and relatively easy to repair, though they are often considered less aesthetically pleasing than wood.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.
