What to Know Before Your Fence Installation Project

Installing a new fence involves more planning than simply choosing a style. Understanding key considerations beforehand helps ensure a smooth, successful installation.

Planning Considerations Before Installation

Property lines, local regulations, and underground utilities all need to be addressed before installation day arrives.

Steps to Take Before Installation

• Confirm property boundaries with a survey if needed
• Check local permit and height requirements
• Have underground utility lines marked

Factors That Affect Installation Timeline

• Total fence length and terrain complexity
• Material availability and lead times
• Permit approval processes in your area

After Installation Care

• Inspect posts and panels periodically
• Address loose hardware promptly
• Apply protective treatments as needed for wood fences

Proper planning combined with professional fence installation results in a durable, code-compliant fence that serves your property well for years to come.
