Top 10 Fencing F.A.Q. PART – 2
10 Things You Always Wanted to Ask Your Fence Contractor
Welcome back! In our last
article we tried to answer some of the most frequently asked question
people have for us. We couldn’t fit all of them in a single article, so
here are the rest of them:
How do I maintain and care for my fence?
Not
all fences need maintenance. Wooden ones, however, need to be
maintained. To do that, grab a pressure cleaner, and wash it down. Also,
you will need to seal and coat your fence once a year. It is necessary for protecting the wood from the influence of the elements. The same goes for metal fences that are susceptible to rust. They must be coated at all times, which can be a problem if you have a very high fence
How tall can I build my fence?
Well, it depends on a lot
of things. For starters, it depends on the city regulations. If the
municipality doesn’t allow fences higher than 8′ then that’s as far as
you can legally go. Also, it depends on the materials that are used and
the type of fence. Usually, the taller it gets, the deeper the foundations must be.
How deep must the fence posts go?
As a fence contractor, we
usually dig holes about 42″- 48″ deep. We lay a concrete foundation
around the post and cover the rest with dirt. Depending on the height of
the fence, the posts may need to be buried even deeper.
Do I need a permit for a fence or a deck?
Most of the times, when
building a deck on your home, you will be required to have a permit. So,
before you start building anything, you should consult with a fence contractor or the local permit office.
How can I get a permit?
You will be required to
present a copy of your property plan. It should include a precise
drawing of the house and the property lines around it. You may also be
required to present a drawing of the fence that you’re planning to
install. It has to be precise as well.
Can I avoid dealing with government officials and paperwork?
If you want to avoid
dealing with government institutions and paperwork, you can do that, but
not by building a fence illegally. Simply contact a good fence contractor,
and have their company deal with the building regulations. If you don’t
