Today, we are working on a vinyl fence installation. The customer needed some privacy in the backyard. They had an original wood fence up that actually went across a concrete patio and an alley just to give them a little bit of privacy in the backyard.
Even though the backyard looked fairly level it actually wasn’t. We had to adapt and make some changes to make it level. In some cases we were four or five inches off the ground. Other areas we actually had to dig into the ground – down about three inches – just to make this fence look level. If we do not make the fence look level it will be very obvious to the owner that it goes up and down and doesn’t look right even though the land underneath goes up and down. Some owners say follow the terrain better but it does not give you a finished product that looks as nice. That is why we trench in or raise up. We did both of that on this project because the backyard was not level like it was at first anticipated.
A lot of homeowners don’t realize what their finished product will be if you do not do it correctly and they can really screw up a job if they are not careful or understand what level is and what is not and where you are going to start with the highest point versus the lowest point. If you just start in the backyard at one point and start going level, you may find you are a foot off the ground in other areas instead of digging down first. So it does help to have a professional installer because they know what to look for, they know how to keep this fence looking the best it can for you.
The fence turned out pretty well. It has a lattice top to it. Everything turned out nice and straight and she has her privacy which is what the outcome was supposed to be.

My dog chewed through my fence the other day, and I’d like to get it fixed as quickly as possible. It’s great that you said that the easiest and quickest approach to care for your fence is to attach a spray nozzle to your garden hose and give it a quick cleaning once or twice a month. To determine what sort of fence would be appropriate for my home, I would need to consult with an expert. Thank you for writing this article! http://www.soldierfencing.com/fence-services.html#wsb-element-4815aba7-e2e5-44a3-b4cb-314a94bcfde5
I like that you said professional installers know what to look for in a fence. They know how to keep our walls looking the best. I like to hire an Industrial fencing installation service for the warehouse my husband is building near our place. We wanted to keep the area private and look its best with the fence as soon as possible.http://www.wattfencing.com/commercial
I’m opening a coffee shop next month, so I need proper fences installed to separate my business property from neighboring shops. I appreciate your warning when you told us that it’ll look obvious if the fences aren’t leveled, so it’s best you make sufficient changes to make them look fair. I’ll keep this in mind while I get a contractor to install my commercial fencing soon. https://www.midwestfenceandgate.com/commercial
