What alternatives are there for cedar fencing?

• <div><p>When looking at natural wood fences, you have several options other than cedar, namely: pine and redwood. Compared to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/redwood-vs-cedar-fencing.htm">cedar, redwood fencing</a> has a deeper, red-brown color, better durability, and a higher price tag. Pine, on the other hand, is one of the most affordable types of wood for fences, but it requires the most maintenance out of the three and has the shortest lifespan.</p></div>

Q: Is metal fencing more expensive than other fencing materials?

• <div><p>Metal fencing is one of the most expensive options and is certainly more expensive than vinyl and oftentimes, wood. Specialized electric fences and, in certain cases, concrete can be more expensive than metal, but wrought iron is one of the most expensive fencing options, which is why you see it most often on expensive estates and in affluent zip codes. </p></div>

Q: Do metal fence posts need concrete?

• <div><p>Whether metal fence posts need concrete depends on the environment and the ground they're placed on. For thick earth and areas without significant weather or high wind, you can get by without concrete, but in areas with weak dirt and strong seasonal weather, it's a good idea to install a concrete base on each individual post. This increases the cost but not as much as replacing or reinstalling the fence would. </p></div>

Q: Is two feet deep enough for fence posts?

• <div><p>The depth of the fence posts depends on the height of your fence. If you&rsquo;re installing a 6-foot fence, then digging 2-foot-deep holes for the fence posts will help ensure a secure installation. However, if you&rsquo;re installing an 8-foot fence, the posts will need to be deeper than 2 feet to support the structure properly. Also, consider <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-far-apart-should-fence-posts-be.htm">how far apart the fence posts should be</a> to provide adequate support.</p></div>

Q: How much does fence installation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-fence-installation-cost.htm">cost to install a fence</a> averages between <b>$1,800 and $4,500</b>, ranging from as low as $450 to as much as $43,000 for a five-acre yard. Cost factors include the size of the fence, type of fence material, height, site prep, and additional features like gates. Keep in mind that custom fabrication of fences and gates can also increase the cost.</p></div>
