Question 1

How does electric fencing work to deter animals?

Accepted Answer

Electric fencing works by sending a short zap through the fence to keep animals from going past it. The quick shock surprises animals but doesn't hurt them, teaching them to stay away. It is often used to keep livestock confined to a specific area or to prevent wild animals from entering a property.

Question 2

Is there a fencing style that's best for privacy?

Accepted Answer

Consider a solid fence style, such as a privacy fence or a board-on-board fence, for maximum privacy. These styles are designed to block the view from both sides of the fence.

Question 3

What are the best materials for fencing & gates?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the right material for your fencing & gates is crucial. Popular options include pine, galvanized steel, and vinyl.

Question 4

Why should I consider using a privacy screen for my outdoor space?

Accepted Answer

Outdoor privacy screens are a great way to create a sense of privacy and seclusion in your backyard. They can block unwanted views from neighbors, create a more intimate setting for entertaining, or add visual interest to your outdoor space. Privacy screens can also reduce noise pollution and wind gusts.

Question 5

Which types of wood are commonly used for fencing?

Accepted Answer

The most common types of wood used for fencing include cedar, redwood, pine, and pressure-treated lumber. Cedar and redwood have natural qualities that help them fight off rot and bugs, while pine is a more affordable option. Pressure-treated lumber is treated with chemicals to prevent rot and insect damage.
