The Top 7 Mistakes in Fencing Installation

    1. No Plan

Don’t jump right into the project. Take time and plan ahead, paying attention to every detail.

    1. Inaccurate Property Markings

Installing your fence on public land or your neighbor’s property can prove costly and result in legal fees and or fines. The wise thing to do is to first have a land survey done by a professional.

    1. Not Following Local Zoning Laws

Plan ahead as fencing isn’t always allowed to be constructed in certain areas. There are also height requirements that you must obey. Be sure to first check with your Homeowner’s Association to find out what types of fences or colors fit their guidelines.

    1. Not Calling the Utilities First

It is extremely important to call the Utility providers prior to construction. They will come out and mark the ground where pipes and wires lie so that you don’t destroy them and wind up with a mess.

    1. Improper Post Setting

Posts are the foundation of your fence, so you need to make sure to install them at least two feet underground.

    1. Ignoring The Grade of Your Yard

Make certain to accommodate for any inclines or declines in your yard.

    1. Incorrectly Setting Gates

Installing gates correctly is extremely imperative because that is your entry and exit point to your fenced in yard. Be certain to install strong hinge posts for your gate.

If you are not confident doing the project yourself, contact our custom wood fence installers to do the job.
