Step 1<br />

Design the <strong>Fence</strong> Layout<br />

Where is the property line?<br />

Whenever a fence is built, it<br />

should be ascertained where the property<br />

line is, or at least, exactly where<br />

the fence is to be constructed.<br />

If the fence is between two property<br />

owners it is best to have an agreement<br />

on what the fence is to be like,<br />

how it should be laid out, and who is<br />

to pay for and install it.<br />

The laws on fences vary from<br />

state to state, so if you don’t get an<br />

absolute agreement with your neighbor,<br />

it is probably best that you check<br />

with an attorney to see what your legal<br />

options are.<br />

After locating and marking the<br />

property lines decide with the neighbors<br />

on the best fence layout. This is<br />

doubly important if the fence is to be<br />

zigzag.<br />

During planning remember to<br />

design the layout so it does not hinder<br />

future plans, remodeling, or expansions.<br />

For instance, if there is no exit<br />

to the back lot and some day you want<br />

to build a swimming pool there, you<br />

will find it very difficult to go through<br />

the concrete fence. Therefore, a gate<br />

would be in order.<br />

<strong>Fence</strong>s perform many functions,<br />

not the least is to “keep them out<br />

and us in.” “Them” can be critters,<br />

people, wind, snow drifts. “Us” usually<br />

consists of the residents and the<br />

pets of the home.<br />

An appropriate fence height<br />

The property line must be determined, agreements<br />

between neighbors must be reached,<br />

and a plan decided on before construction<br />

can begin.<br />

The zigzag fence is superior to the straight line fence. Notice the zigzag fence only requires<br />

a fence post every 16 feet, while the straight line fence requires a post hole every 8 feet.<br />
