Q: What is the best height for a garden fence?

• <div><p>The best height for your garden fence really depends on your visual preferences and what types of pests are common in your area. If you&rsquo;re only dealing with small pests, your garden fence can be just about 3 feet tall. But if you live in a region with a lot of deer, you&rsquo;ll need a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/want-keep-deer-out-your-yard-theres-fence.htm">deer-proof fence</a> that&rsquo;s at least 5 feet tall to keep deer from hopping over the fence and grubbing in your garden.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to nail or screw fence pickets?

• <div><p>Both nails and screws are common in fence construction, including on pickets. Some builders prefer to use nails when connecting the pickets to the rails and screws when connecting the rails to the posts. However, the best option usually depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">type of wood fencing</a> and the variety of wood you choose.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a bamboo fence?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-it-take-to-build-fence.htm">How long it takes to install a fence</a> depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wattle fence?

• <div><p>Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan. </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...
