Dear Fence
Day Dreamer,
Its time you stop
day dreaming about fences and take action on the fencing for
your home, personal and private needs.
I mean...
Wouldn’t it
be nice to have a fence installed for your home? A fence for
better privacy and protection, fences for keeping your dogs
and pets in and preventing unwanted pets, stray animals, wildlife
(such as deer, foxes, rabbits, racoons and opossums)and people
out.
A backyard fence
to provide a safe place for the kids to play and for your
family to enjoy cookouts and get-togethers. Perhaps a pool
fence made of aluminum or vinyl for the swimming pool, spa,
or hot tub.
You may need fencing
for safety and insurance reasons like trampolines, pools,
playsets, play ground areas, or certain breeds of dog that
have a tendency to bite.
Getting a fence is
a great idea, don't you think?
Of course it is!
I can't speak for
you, but I for one know I would love the beauty, additional
security, and peace of mind that a fence would provide for
my home.
Did you know that
fences(if properly built and installed by experienced and
quality fence builders) actually improve the look and value
of your home?... Ka-Ching!
Some Homeowners think
that building a fence is an expensive home improvment project.
Not really. First of all fences vary in price depending upon
the style of fencing your interested in and the building/installation
conditions of the fence on your property. Most reputable fence
companies are happy to give free fence estimates and review
any fencing concerns or details for your project.
Some people choose
to design and build their own fence, some follow fencing how
to plans and guides. Wood fences are a popular choice for
how to installers. If you're the weekend warrior type, decent
with numbers and measurements, have a good eye for detail,
and not afraid of a little potentially, back-breaking and
dirty work, you just might be able to build and install your
own fence.
But trust me, your
better off letting the professional fence builders handle
the job. We've got the the experience, know how, and all the
right fencing equipment to get the job done.
Here's an outline
of the materials and equipment for an average fence:
Average

one gate

- 6x6x8
(28)
- 4x4x8
(24) - 80LB Bags concrete
(85) - 2x4x8
(440) - 1x6x6DE
(3) - Hinges
(1) - Latch
Note:
That's roughly 3,000 Pounds in
material that needs to be distributed
throughout the yard! You might
want to get a back brace and stretch
out before your heavy lifting!

Material
& labor costs: Roughly $3,250.00
(Disclaimer - does
not include tear down of existing fence, removal
of debris, rough site charges which includes
clearing & hard digs, possible rental
of heavy equpment "pneumatic jack hammer"
for rocky terrain & unforseen conditions.
Final pricing varies per geographic location.)
If
you are a weekend warrior, make sure all underground
utilities (gas, electric, cable, phone, &
water)are contacted & marked prior to
digging! Those lines that aren't marked, ie.
sprinkler systems, sanitary lines, etc. be
certain to know the location of those lines
prior to the construction of your new fence!

When I first started
researching fences I had know idea how much information was
available and that pertained to fencing. For example: In building
fences there are many choices and fencing options including...types
of fences, fence parts and accessories, fence gates, hinges,
grade of fence materials, fence colors, various fencing styles,
type of posts (both wooden and metal), fence accents,etc.
More valuable fence
information examples...
You have style choices
between scalloped fences or half-moon/wooden arched fences.
Wood or Vinyl Lattice fence accents. Chain link fences, Vinyl
coated chain link in a variety of colors and in some cases
chain with barbed wire fencing. Black Aluminum fences verses
Wrought Iron or an Ornamental fence. Vinyl fences or PVC/plastic
fencing. Semi-Private Wooden Shadowbox Fencing or Ribbed Vinyl
fences. Complete Privacy Fences like Wood Board on Board and
Vinyl Tongue and Groove Fences.Custom designed wooden fences
or Traditional picket fences varying in height and style or
pre-fabbed panel fences. Contemporary Fence Vinyl styles such
as Princeton, Countess, and Victorian. Classic Fence Styles
such as the Manchester and Concave version. Traditional Fence
Styles such as the Charleston Concave fence version, Yorkshire,
and Colonial fencing.
Note: Concave
Fencing (as in Vinyl "Concave" Fence Styles) is
basically the same as "Scalloped or Scalloped Topped"
(as in Wooden Fence Styles.)
Three
Great Fence Questions you should always ask
your potential fence contractor or fence sales
person.
1)
Are you just a sales person, selling fencing
or do you actually have real, in the field
fence building experience?
2)
Can you provide me with at least 3 references
of fences that you have built?
3)
What type of fencing guarantee or fence warranty
do you provide for your fences?
