It is almost always necessary to hire a land surveyor near you to ensure your fence sits on the right side of the property line. Mistaking the shape of your property can lead to fines and costly changes if you have to move or adjust the privacy fence—not to mention some surly looks from your neighbor. We recommend jumpstarting your fence planning in the spring to ensure there is plenty of time to map out your plan before construction season.

Cedar is the most popular type of wood used for fencing, thanks to its natural durability and resistance to rot and insects. Pressure-treated pine and redwood are also widely used and are popular alternatives. All three of these materials are readily available at most hardware stores, which makes repairs and replacements easier over time. Their accessibility and long-lasting performance make them top choices for those looking to build or maintain a wood fence.

Typically, you need one to two coats of stain for a fence. The number of coats you need can vary depending on the porosity of the type of wood. You can also apply an extra coat of stain if you want the color to look more saturated or to cover lap marks and patchy spots.
