"DanDale Fence was a wonderful company to work with. Jamie the sales person was our first contact and he was absolutely the best. I had a good vibe with him which made me make the decision to go with DanDale Fence. The install crew was even more impressive with their hard working attitude and professionalism that knocked it out of the park for me. They completed the install in two long hard working days, that’s 516 linear feet of fence, Wow!! The fence is not only perfect it has enhanced the beauty of our home! Highly recommend DanDale Fence Company! They Rock!!"

"Expectations exceeded all around! I called multiple places for a free estimate (doing my due diligence to shop around.) The owner came out and walked off the area that I wanted fenced in. And the following two reasons is why I decided on LAV Fence. 1.) He did not try to tell me what I wanted nor upsell me something I did not need. 2.) He gave me a estimate before leaving (YES! THAT DAY!) The several other companies including Lowes that came out to do estimates and no one else did either. He scheduled to do the fence the following week. The day of- 5 hours later I have a beautiful, sturdy reasonably (better than others) priced fence. I could not be happier! My dog loves it for his own reasons :) But for quality and service reasons LAV Fence is the best option."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

How long a fence lasts, including a split rail fence, will depend on the material from which it’s made. The average lifespan of a wood fence is about 15 to 20 years. However, split rail fences made out of premium materials, like composite, vinyl, steel, or aluminum, can last for 25 to 30 years or more, especially if you take good care of the material and carry out necessary maintenance.

The ideal distance between fence posts depends on several factors, including the terrain, the purpose of the fence, and the material used. For different types of fences, here are some general guidelines:

  • Wood and Metal Fences: Posts should be spaced between 5 and 8 feet apart.

  • Vinyl Fences: Spacing can be between 6 and 8 feet.

  • Chain-Link, Mesh, or Lattice Fences: Posts can be set anywhere from 4 to 25 feet apart, with 4-10 feet being common for chain-link.

  • Wire Fences: Spacing can be up to 12 feet apart.

Knowing how close to the property line you can build a fence is an important planning step in your fence installation project. In many U.S. states, you are allowed to build a fence directly on the property line as long as your neighbor signs off on the plan. But check with your state government because some states and municipalities require a couple of inches before your property line.

Vegetable gardens can easily become a convenient food bank for your local animal population, whether it’s squirrels stealing fruit or rabbits munching on freshly grown veggies. If you want to keep those critters out, it helps to put a fence around your vegetable garden that’s at least a couple of feet tall to deter any animals from getting past it. Just make sure your fence doesn’t interrupt the amount of sunlight your garden needs to thrive. 

It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.
