Get matched with top fencing pros in Farmington, WV

Q: What is the maximum slope you can build a fence on?

• <div><p>The maximum recommended slope on which you can build a racked or stepped fence is 45 degrees. After that, construction becomes quite tricky and may require the use of retaining walls or terraces to make the fenced area flatter.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a wire fence?

• <div><p>Regular maintenance for wire fencing includes annual inspections for rust or damage, tension adjustments every two to three years, and immediate repair of any breaks or loose sections. You should also regularly check the fence posts for stability, particularly after severe weather, and make sure to remove any vegetation growing along the fence line. </p></div>

Q: How deep should a wooden gate post be?

• <div><p>Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.</p></div>

Q: Does a chain-link fence lower the property value?

• <div><p>A chain-link fence does not lower your property value. However, chain links are not the most attractive materials&mdash;so it probably won&rsquo;t raise the value either. If this is a concern, opt for wooden posts to provide visual flair and go with a color coating on your fence. Putting in a functional and attractive gate also helps up your resale value when installing a chain-link fence.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest fence to put around your property?

• <div><p>The cheapest fence to install is likely to be a wire fence, whether it&rsquo;s hog wire or chicken wire. Closely following that is something repurposed that would be free to collect, like a DIY pallet fence. Most wire fences are available in large quantities at a low cost, so they&rsquo;re great for homes with a tight budget.</p></div>
