"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."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You’ve likely been considering lots of wood fence ideas for your yard. There are many reasons why people choose split rail fences time and again. For one, they’re one of the most wallet-friendly fencing options, especially since you don’t need to use much hardware and setting the posts doesn’t require concrete or foam. So if you have a large property and want to fence it in, your best bet may be a split rail fence.

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.

Removing fence posts that are set in concrete is something you can't do by hand. You will need an excavator, a strong post-puller, or a jackhammer. If you plan on recycling the concrete base, you may be able to cut the post out with a jackhammer and then set the new post in the existing base. However, it's usually better to remove both the fence post and concrete together. Due to the weight of concrete, you will need a hydraulic removal tool.

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. 

How long it takes to install a fence depends on the size of the fence; the longer the fence, the longer the install will take. That said, you can typically install a bamboo fence over a weekend for a reasonably sized yard. A team of fencing contractors can likely get your bamboo fence assembled in half a day to a day.
