Don't Build a Fence Until You Know These 14 Things

Thinking about building a privacy fence or hiring someone to do it? These are the questions homeowners ask more than any others. In this first episode of the Ask Ron series, I answer 14 of the most common questions about wood privacy fences. Whether you're planning a new fence, replacing an old one, or simply trying to avoid costly mistakes, these answers will help you make better decisions before spending your money. In this video we cover topics including the following: • What a new privacy fence should cost • How to choose a good contractor • Should you pay a contractor upfront? • Who owns the fence between neighbors? • Which direction should the "good side" face? • Permits, HOA approvals, and calling 811 • How long cedar fences last • Proper fence post depth and spacing • Concrete vs. no concrete • Paint or stain? Which lasts longer? • When to stain a new cedar fence • Common fence-building mistakes homeowners make Whether you're building it yourself or paying a contractor, my goal is to help you avoid expensive mistakes and understand why fences are built the way they are. 🔧 ASK RON A DIY QUESTION Stuck on a project?
