How do you keep a horizontal fence from sagging?

• <div><p>Since wood is weaker when installed horizontally versus vertically, a horizontal fence is prone to sagging. You can prevent this drooping from happening by building a sturdier fence. Use softwoods that are more stable, such as cedar and redwood, or denser hardwoods for your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-wood-fencing.htm">fence materials</a>. If you can’t afford these pricey materials, use thicker two-by-six pressure-treated pine boards or shorten the span the fence boards have to cover by installing more posts. </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: What is better: vinyl or composite fencing?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fence-pros-and-cons-wood-vinyl-composite-and-aluminum.htm">pros and cons to vinyl and composite fencing</a>. Both fencing types offer longer lifespans than wood fencing, with some notable advantages. Whether one is better for you will depend on a few factors. Composite is better if you prefer recycled materials, while vinyl is extremely easy to clean. </p><p>Also, consider the disadvantages: vinyl can be more expensive, while composite fencing fades during the first six months.</p></div>

Q: What is a board on board fence?

• <div><p>A board on board fence is a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-fences-pros-cons.htm">type of privacy fence</a> that uses overlapping vertical boards to keep onlookers from seeing into the fenced yard. Typically made of wood, board on board fences are more expensive than other privacy fences because they use more materials and require more complex construction.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to tell my neighbor I’m putting up a fence?

• <div><p>While most homeowners aren't required to tell their neighbors that they&rsquo;re putting up a fence, it's certainly a good idea to do so. Not only is it considerate to give neighbors a heads up about construction noise, but building a fence may limit your neighbors' access to their own backyards while building is taking place. </p><p> </p></div>

This was not a repair this was a new installation of a wrought iron fence. It was the first time I had ever had a fence installed on a property - our home. A friend recommended A to B Custom Fencing. Brandon Fagan, the owner, was so easy to work with. His suggestions to my original thoughts...
