"Twisted Metal’s (Richard) work is outstanding, and the metal railings for my porch are of superior quality, custom made to fit in with the wrought iron already in place. Richard was willing to accommodate my schedule for installing the railings. I would rate his work at 10 out of 10. I highly recommend Twisted Metal for your project."

"The quality of work provided was excellent as was their professionalism. A professional contract was given before work began. Provider also coordinated best prices of supplies and coordinated delivery that worked with our schedule. Their prices were fair and lower than other bids we received. The provider also explained how the work would be done and gave clear expectations. It only took them one day to complete and they cleaned up after themselves, not leaving any debris, nails, wood, etc. behind. We were also told to contact them anytime if we had any problems in the future with the work, but I don't foresee that ever being a need. I would definitely recommend this company!!!!!!!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

You can't build a fence against your neighbor's fence if it touches or is attached to it unless you get explicit permission from your neighbor. Most municipalities recommend building a fence about two feet away from your neighbor's fence to allow access for fence repair and mowing.

Traditional bamboo fences use twine to attach pickets to posts and stringers, but you have to keep an eye on the twine, as it will deteriorate over time. Alternatively, you can fasten bamboo pickets to framing using fence screws.

Whether you need a permit to build or install a fence depends on several factors, including your location, the fence's height, its placement in your yard, and the materials used. In many cities and highly populated areas, a permit is required, especially for fences taller than 6 feet. Conversely, rural areas may have fewer restrictions. Typically, backyard privacy fences 6 feet or shorter do not require a permit, while front yard fences often have a lower height limit, sometimes as low as 3.5 feet. There can also be exceptions for properties in mixed residential-commercial zones. It's best to check with your local building inspection or zoning department to understand the specific requirements, height restrictions, and location rules for your area. A professional fence installer can help you navigate this process and often secure the necessary permits for you, though this may extend the project timeline.

You have several options for anchoring a temporary fence to keep it from falling down. Sandbags can be used as a standard weight, but they may blow away or fail in strong winds and inclement weather. Spikes and bolts are a cost-effective and easy-to-install alternative, but drilling can be difficult if the ground is frozen, too soft, or too hard. Another option is wind braces, which should be bolted into the ground to withstand turbulent wind; however, like spikes, they can be challenging to install in very soft or hard ground.

When considering how much of a gap should be under a fence or gate, a good rule of thumb is to keep gaps between 2 and 5 inches tall. This allows for some ground clearance for the gate but still provides safety for children and pets, who shouldn’t be able to squeeze through a gap of that size.
