Q: Can chickens fit through a hog wire fence?

• <div><p>Most adult chickens can't fit through the large openings in a hog wire fence. However, young chicks or small breeds of chickens could potentially squeeze through a hog wire fence. To prevent this, consider adding extra reinforcements such as chicken wire fencing, mesh, or hardware cloth. </p></div>

Q: How high should fence pickets be off the ground?

• <div><p>Pickets should sit at least 2 inches off the ground to encourage groundwater to flow underneath. Pickets can sit as much as 6 inches off the ground, but setting it any higher could let pets in or out of your yard unintentionally. These are not to be confused with the fence posts anchored underground with soil or concrete footing.</p></div>

Q: Do driveway gates deter crime?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.</p></div>

Q: What gauge is hog wire fencing?

• <div><p>The most common hog wire gauge for a fence is 12.5. However, you can choose from a few gauges based on your needs. While 12.5 is a reliable gauge for penning in large, strong animals, 9 gauge is a better option of you have large animals that are easily spooked, such as horses. For smaller animals, like dogs or pigs, you can use a 16 gauge hog wire. </p></div>

Q: What is the best type of wood to use for a fence?

• <div><p>When choosing wood for a fence, consider your budget and geographic region. The most popular and common types of wood are cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is a top choice due to its natural durability, resistance to rot and insects, and budget-friendly price. Redwood is another durable, tried-and-true option, though it is typically more expensive. Pressure-treated wood, such as pine, is also a widely used and popular alternative. These materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes future repairs and replacements easier. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them excellent choices for most fence installation projects.</p></div>

Scott Brandt did a demolition and hauled away a shed and leveled the area. He showed up when scheduled and did a great job! Also, took down a tree and hauled away and cleaned up after. I would recommend Scott anytime. Fair price and great to work with.

"Integrity comes to mind when thinking about my new wooden stockade privacy fence. The fence itself has a lot of integrity and is straight and tall and strong. It was built by a man of integrity. I am so grateful I looked on Angi for someone to build my fence. Javon called me almost right away to offer his services. Javon is honest, efficient, professional, kind, thoughtful, respectful and caring. He made this project a lot of fun, and he built a fence for me that exceeds my expectations. For Javon, nothing less than perfection will do. Nothing is done halfway, and he meets rules and regulations of the area while honoring my wishes, such as leaving the ends ready for adding on. Javon is prompt, and he works hard. When finished he cleans up the work area, even if he'll be back. Even as he works the work area is organized and efficient. I can't say enough good things about his work habits and standing as a fine young man. I love my fence!"
