Front Page Forum: Where to Look for a Fence?

There seems to be a great deal of uncertainty among homeowners about fences. Namely, what style of fence to use and where to get it. When we were planning our garden reno last Spring we had a very tough time finding anything on our own; ultimately, the guy we hired to help us sourced this red cedar fence which we’ve been quite happy with. (Don’t mind the almost barren flower bed.) So where have readers gone to get their fence material? How about online sources or catalogs like the (rather pricey) Walpole Woodworkers?
Re: Prices Fence Plaza
I am in Beverley Square West (Victorian Flatbush)and my yard is huge. We paid 4K installed which was about the same price at Amedola. That included a side gate with locking mechanism and the 2 gate driveway gate with locking mechanism. A year after installing the fence, I backed my truck into the gate (yes, the back up sensor was on but I thought I could still back it a little further.) It was minor damage, but they came right out and repaired it free of charge .
any eco value from your new bamboo fence is likely negated by shipping it from across the country
I just put up a bamboo fence in my backyard. It was pricey and had to be special ordered from CA, but it’s absolutely gorgeous, and looks a lot more interesting than the typical home depot/lowe’s lattice fencing. The ecological friendliness is a nice bonus, too.
I have a question regarding the 6 inches in from your property line in order to install fences? Is this just a urban myth or proper etiquette or law, rule?
i just put up the same fence pictured on some older existing fence posts…got the fence from Lowes. cheap. love it.
put in chain fencing when I first moved in because I noticed that some folks think your fence is for their use as well. The owner to the back of my yard has a habit of using his backyard as a dumping ground and was putting heavy garbage on the old fencing. That neighbor consequently tried to remove a tree and damage my new fence. Thank God, I didn’t put in wood because (he didn’t even want to pay me what the chain was worth) I would probably be in jail now! I am still going to replace the back fence with “1:08pm: ghetto chain†because of the situation. My neighbors may have fancy fences, but their yards don’t look any better than minds! People get caught up with what everybody else is doing, like there is only one right way of doing anything, but you can be creative and do things to camouflage and dress up any area. I initially wanted wood, but since my neighbors on both sides of me have put up privacy fences and everybody seems to have them, I rather do something different. One of the things I want to try this season is to train an espalier tree on my fence.
How are the prices at Fence Plaza?
Anyone have ideas for the one side of my yard that faces a lot used to store construction vehicles and other junk? I’d like a fence as tall as the current gaggle of chain link and 4×4 — about 15 feet high — to totally shield us from their stink and noise. Is that ridiculous? If not, what do you recommend? Thanks guys.
Dude:
What happened to your lawn?
