Planning a New Fence Installation? Here’s What You Need to Know
A new fence can enhance your property’s beauty, boost privacy, and increase security. At Southline Fence, we specialize in professional fence installations in St. Paul, Eagan, Bloomington, and surrounding Minnesota communities. To ensure your project turns out exactly how you want, here’s a simple guide to help you plan.
Things to Consider Before Installing Your Fence
- Fence Placement & Project Size: Determine the boundaries of your property and calculate the total linear feet of fencing required. Proper planning ensures a smooth installation process.
- Wood Type: Choose the best wood for your fence based on style, durability, and maintenance:
- Green-Treated Wood: Economical and resistant to rot and insects. Ideal for long-lasting functional fences.
- Brown-Treated Wood: Slightly more durable and weather-resistant, with a rich brown hue that adds warmth.
- Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay and insects, with a beautiful, classic appearance that ages gracefully.
- Fence Style: Decide on the style that complements your property. From traditional picket fences to privacy panels, we can help you visualize your ideal design with examples from our portfolio.
- Gates: Plan the number of gates needed, including single or double gates for equipment or vehicle access.
- Obstructions: Identify obstacles like trees, bushes, or flower beds that could affect fence placement. Proper assessment avoids surprises during installation.
