Q: How far apart should posts be for a horizontal fence?

• <div><p>Posts for a horizontal fence should be no more than 6 feet apart. Wood pickets are not as strong when mounted horizontally as when mounted vertically. As such, the fence panels on a horizontal fence can&rsquo;t cover the same span between posts as a vertical fence can. If you install the posts further apart on a horizontal fence, the fence will lose stability, making the boards more likely to sag. </p></div>

Q: Do fence posts need to be below the frost line?

• <div><p>Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.</p></div>

Q: Will a goat charge at you?

• <div><p>For the most part, goats are friendly and won&rsquo;t charge at you, but there are exceptions to this rule, as there are with any animal handling practices. Typically, goats don&rsquo;t attack unless they feel threatened. Avoid cornering or rough handling goats to avoid getting head-butted, bitten, or kicked, and always supervise goats when they&rsquo;re near children or pets.</p></div>

Q: How far apart should a four-by-four fence post be?

• <div><p>The ideal spacing for four-by-four residential fence posts is usually about <b>6 to 8 feet</b> between posts. However, if the fence is particularly high or you live in a very windy region, you might want to space them closer together for better stability. A fence pro can help you decide on your post spacing. </p></div>

Q: How long does a pipe fence last?

• <div><p>A well-maintained pipe fence can last anywhere from<b> 20 to 50 years</b>, depending on factors like material, climate, and maintenance. Galvanized or coated pipes resist rust and corrosion better than other alternatives, so they tend to last longer, especially in humid or wet environments. Routine maintenance, such as inspecting for damage, removing rust, and applying protective coatings, helps extend the fence&rsquo;s lifespan significantly.</p></div>
