Q: How do I maintain a wattle fence?

• <div><p>Maintain your wattle fence by inspecting it at least twice per year for loose weaving and degrading branches. Replace any seriously degraded sections, ensure water drains properly around the posts, and trim any sprouting branches if you used green wood. If you notice the weave loosening, you can often tighten it by gently pushing down on the top branches. You can also apply a natural wood preservative every two to three years to extend the fence's lifespan. </p></div>

Q: Where can you buy wrought iron fencing?

• <div><p>You can buy wrought iron fencing from a trusted fence installation company near you. You could also opt to buy it privately from a homeowner who is interested in recycling their own wrought iron materials. Manufacturers stopped mass production of wrought iron as steel became more affordable to produce, so you likely won't find it in any local big box stores.</p></div>

Q: How to clean a wood fence without pressure washing?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t have a pressure washer or simply don&rsquo;t want to lug it out of storage, you can spot-clean your wood fence with a garden hose instead. Apply your mild detergent with a soft cloth, scrub with a broom or other soft-bristled brush, and rinse with a garden hose.</p></div>

Q: How do I choose where to add a fence gate?

• <div><p>To choose where to add a fence gate, know where fence gates shouldn&rsquo;t go. For example, you should avoid placing gates over low spots on the ground where water can collect and form muddy puddles. Many ranchers install gates at the corner of a fence. Certain gate placements may also be required depending on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gate-latch-types.htm">type of gate latch</a> you use.</p></div>

I hired them to erect a chain link fence to keep deer away from my fruit trees and some ornamental plants they love to ravage. I'm located in east Grays Harbor county in Western Washington. They did a very good job. The fence is tight, good-looking, and very functional.

It went very well, and they showed more concern for the animal than my means, which living on the poverty level is not good. What got to me at once, they were more concerned about the well being of the animal and my stress in dealing with him than they were their fees. This is not common...
