Summer is soon approaching, and every homeowner is looking forward to improving their homes. Building a fence can be an exciting activity to consider during the summer months, and having a proper plan is critical to achieving your desired results. But after building the fence, you will not be the only one who lives with the potential benefits and challenges. The people next door and the rest of the neighborhood will likely face the impacts of your fencing choices. Here are the top four “must know” tips you should consider.

Plan Your Fencing Carefully

Nothing is demoralizing like having a feud with your neighbors over a fence built without adhering to the property line. One should ensure that the fence is constructed within the property. This can be achieved by ensuring that the fence layout is clearly marked, and the lines are confirmed with recent survey statistics of the area. It is recommended that homeowners mark their fences 6 inches within the property line so that the fence structure and posts do not exceed the property line.

Choose the Right Material

There is a wide range of fencing materials to consider, including composites, pressure-treated woods, vinyl, and metal. Wood fences are usually common because of the several choices available, but they need regular maintenance. Vinyl and steel products may be costly but require less maintenance.

Seal and Stain the Fencing Elements

To achieve optimum protection and coverage, it is important to apply finish to your fencing materials before assemblage. This may require a professional installer with finishing and staining skills. Make sure that the materials are sealed and stained days before the scheduled installation. During the finish application, clear topcoats like polyurethane or shellac varnish should be avoided because they would eventually cause blistering.

Avoid Dragging Fence

A common mistake that homeowners usually make is allowing the fence rail at the bottom to hover near the ground. This will not only dirty the fencing when it rains but also cause rapid deterioration due to insect infestation and rot. The railing should be kept between 4 inches and 6 inches away from the ground for proper airflow and adequate clearance from the grass.
