"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!!"

"Victor was extremely easy to work with and to highly recommend. He was professional, prompt, courteous, and highly skilled. He meticulously prepared, primed and painted our fence. He was straightforward, efficient and kept his promises. He also set a high standard for attention to detail and thorough clean up. Soon after Victor finished yesterday, neighbors began making favorable comments. I am convinced Victor can perform other types of work with the same excellent results."

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. 

You should stain both sides of your fence to get the full benefits. Fences often fall along property lines, so you may want to save a buck by leaving your neighbor’s side in the dust. If you do that, all you get is a slightly better view. Moisture and UV rays can still sneak in through the side that’s unpainted or worn down and damage your fence. Rot and rust will spread, even if you can’t see it from your side of the lawn.

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.

You shouldn’t try to touch the electric fence, as it will shock you. Typically, the shock is low enough to be uncomfortable to humans or animals that come into contact with the fence. But an electric fence with high voltage, or a faulty fence, could shock you and cause serious injuries when touched.

While wood fencing is versatile and durable, there are other fence material options to consider. Check out our comprehensive list of the Best Types of Fences for Your Home to browse through some other fencing materials. Popular types include metal fencing, such as aluminum and chain link, and wood alternatives, such as vinyl or composite fencing.
