How to Avoid Fence DIY Mistakes

If you still want to install a fence on your own you start by hiring a professional survey company. Using a professional surveyors will make sure you mark your property lines correctly. Next, you must find out your counties zoning regulations and apply for a permit. Some cities require that you build a certain distance inside your properly line.

Take the extra time to ensure your posts are level and square. If you’re 1 inch off in the front of your fence it could result in being several feet off in the back. Next, make sure you set your fence posts deep enough. If you place your posts too shallow they could collapse at some point. Your fence posts should be at least two feet in the ground and secured with concrete or gravel.

Building a fence requires a lot of hard work and planning, which is why many homeowners experience costly fence DIY mistakes.

The Lowe’s Home Improvement Store on US One in Jensen Beach recently had new security fences installed for their Lawn and Garden Department. They are there to prevent the products from mysteriously wandering off. They also help to control the flow of traffic in the designated area. The company contracted with us to install the security fences because it also allows them to leave their products out overneight.

The other type of security fences are fence which are designed to keep people In and direct the flow of traffic. This is especially important when your facility has to deal with large numbers of visitors, as in the case of the Flying Panda. It is now a major facility on Peacock Blvd. in St. Lucie West adjacent to First Data Field, but when we were called in to help with security fence and barrier netting, it was little more than a warehouse.
