How to Install a TimberTough Fence
It’s very important to never underestimate how a fence can make your yard look amazing. The trick to a good-looking fence is not only what it is made out of, but also how it was installed.
When it comes to installing a fence, there are many things that can go wrong and in this blog we will break down what NOT to do when installing a fence, and why a TimberTough Fence is the way to go.
Fence Installation Mistakes to Avoid:
Lack of Planning
Make sure you take the time to plan out the project. This means managing your budget, knowing the materials you will need, and dedicating your time.
Not Knowing Your Property
A big mistake people often make is not knowing the precise boundaries of their yard and accidentally being too short or over their neighbors line. Make sure you have your blue prints to get an accurate layout of your property and exactly where you need to build your fence. This will save you the embarrassment and also your money.
Know Your Zoning Laws
Some cities and subdivisions have specific laws when it comes to height and boundary requirements. A good tip is to check with your city or town’s bylaws for regulations for installing fences.
Not Measuring or Accounting for Post Holes
This may be the most detrimental mistake you can make. Without properly measuring and planning for post holes, it can lead to costly mishaps that will make you start over.
Why Choose a TimberTough Fence?
TimberTough fence panels are made with Eastern Hemlock fence boards. The benefits of using Eastern Hemlock as opposed to other types of wood material, is that it is extremely tough and durable while also being lightweight. This type of stable wood adds texture making it hold stain exceptionally well giving it an authentic look for your yard.
Our fence panels are also created with Eastern White Cedar stringers for natural durability with an added bonus of being resistant to decay and insect attack. This combination of Eastern Hemlock and Eastern White Cedar will make your fence become tougher and harder over time, keeping your fence standing strong for years to come.
The best parts of using a TimberTough fence is that the installation process is easy and the fence requires low maintenance care afterwards.
