"Randy and Jake were the best! They agreed to install this fence in the winter when everyone else we contacted wouldn't. They were simply amazing. No matter what needed to be done, no matter what tool was needed, Randy and Jake did it. I remember seeing them using the pickaxe to ensure the ground was level for each panel. We have a couple of Beagle puppies who are escape artists, but Randy and Jake made sure that every fence panel was too close to the ground for them to escape. Randy was perfect to work with. He explained the details of his plan and what it would cost. He didn't hide anything from us. Our install was extra complicated due to a sloping yard, but Randy knew how to account for that. Our neighbors were so impressed with their work, that they contacted Randy to install a fence for them, too! I have owned three houses and have contracted many projects out. I can say without reservation that Eau Claire Fence Company was the best we've ever hired to perform a service. If you need a fence installed, this is THE company to hire."

"These were the only contractors for my fence that got back to me immediately. This was a very good sign--they replaced an old beat-up fence and put up a beautiful new cedar fence in an amazingly small amount of time. Trevor even designed a pergola over the gate that my wife loves! On budget, on schedule and most important, top-notch meticulous workmanship. I will use them again and I recommend that you do as well!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can use pressure-treated wood for a horizontal fence, but you’ll need to purchase a thicker and higher-quality variety to ensure it doesn’t sag or warp after you install it. Use #2 pine grade lumber and boards and thicker dimensional lumber, such as a two-by-six. You’ll also need to use stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, as the chemicals in the treated lumber will cause regular galvanized fasteners to rust. 

Most homeowners who install a wrought iron fence do so because it provides security. The material is sturdy and deters intruders from entering your property. They're also built to last and won't rust if you purchase a galvanized iron fence. So, you don't have to worry about replacing fencing every few years like you might with wood or other less expensive materials. Most homeowners also adore the look of wrought iron fencing, which adds a timeless look to just about any style home.

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 type of wood fencing and the variety of wood you choose.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

A silt fence should be buried in a trench that is 6 to 12 inches deep. A depth of at least 6 to 8 inches is necessary to prevent water and sediment from running underneath the fence. A deeper trench, up to 12 inches, provides better anchoring during wet and windy weather. To ensure proper installation, look for a red line on the silt fence fabric, which often indicates the correct burial depth. Always adhere to local guidelines and regulations; a professional contractor will be familiar with these requirements.
