Q: Should my fence follow the ground or be level?

• <div><p>Most people prefer to keep the fence level by &ldquo;stepping&rdquo; the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.</p></div>

Q: How do you replace a fence post without removing concrete?

• <div><p>Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won&rsquo;t be as sturdy.</p><p>That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won&rsquo;t work well for metal posts.</p></div>

Q: How tall should a wattle fence be?

• <div><p>Wattle fences are typically around 4 feet tall, but they can be built taller or shorter depending on their intended use. Taller fences may require additional reinforcements, such as thicker posts or tighter weaving, to ensure the fence&rsquo;s stability and durability against wind and other elements. </p></div>

Q: What should I do if there is a wolf in my yard?

• <div><p>If you come face-to-face with a wolf in your yard, chances are it will be afraid of you as a human. Make eye contact and get big&mdash;waving your arms to increase your size. Use noisemakers or air horns if you have them, or throw a few rocks around to discourage them from approaching you. If all else fails and the wolf does not retreat, back away slowly while maintaining eye contact and find safe ground, whether indoors or up a tree. </p></div>

Q: How long do picket fences last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a picket fence largely depends on its material. Wooden picket fences typically last 10 to 15 years with regular maintenance, while vinyl and composite picket fences can last 20 to 30 years or more due to their resistance to weather, rot, and pests. Metal picket fences often exceed 30 years, especially when properly coated to prevent rust or corrosion. </p></div>

"Greg at Macs Custom Fencing deserves 20 stars. A very down to earth guy that went beyond what I hired him to do. I hired him to put up fencing in one of my pastures and he checked to make sure he was doing what I needed done. He blew these big name companies away with his work ethics. I would not hesitate to hire him for more work if needed."
