"Really really happy with everything about my new fence install with Parker Construction and Fence, LLC. From my 1st meeting with Brian, to follow up and scheduling, to install, I knew I had chosen a company that cared about quality, integrity, and the customer! Their pricing was so competitive from the â Big Guysâ fence companies and I felt good using an established family owned business. My fence is beautiful, excellent quality, and exactly what I wanted. Very pleased to have found Parker fence and would highly recommend them to all!"

"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!"

"I hired Ricky to lower my iron fence from 6â to 4â . My house was one of eight which he modified in our neighborhood. Ricky was incredibly flexible with scheduling and did a great job. Our fences were uneven when installed originally and they are not straight and level. It was a game-changer for the view and the homes look much classier with the lower fence. Ricky had to work with a lot of personalities in this project and went way above and beyond to accommodate some of the owners."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can’t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. 

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.

There are many types of wood fencing that you can choose from. For split rail fencing, the most common wood types are cedar, pine, black locust, and chestnut. The best wood for you will depend on if you like the way a certain wood looks and the availability of the wood type in your area.

Most of the wood types you can find at your local home improvement store are good choices since they all have rot-resistant properties or are pressure-treated with pesticides. If none of the wood options speak to the look you’re going for, check out vinyl fencing.

Traditional bamboo fences use twine to attach pickets to posts and stringers, but you have to keep an eye on the twine, as it will deteriorate over time. Alternatively, you can fasten bamboo pickets to framing using fence screws.

Privacy fences in residential neighborhoods tend to stand between 6 and 8 feet tall, but local building code usually dictates the maximum height. Livestock fences that border large land plots range from 3 to 6 feet. Shorter, decorative fences, which are common in front yards, are around 3 feet tall, on average. Fence height also tends to vary by material, with wood fences usually sitting at 6 feet tall, and chain-link and wrought iron fences tending to sit at half that.
