There are many factors that go into installing or replacing a fence, such as checking local codes that may prohibit installing a fence or require a permit to do so. Other factors include leveling the ground, making sure your property lines are marked before digging, and ensuring you have the right materials and tools. If you are considering a DIY fence project, planning is important. Once ready to install, you must first evenly layout your post locations. Once these locations are located, you can start to dig these marked areas. To save time, it’s recommended to use a power auger for digging. After the holes have been dug, insert the fence rails in these holes and secure they are in place. Installing the fence pickets will be your last step in this process once the fence rails are up. Make sure to measure out each picket to ensure they are all in line with each other. For best results, a HomePro Match fencing contractor can help you plan and install your fence.
