Fence

Where are my pants?
I need to build a fence around my yard---Due to HOA mandates, it has to be of a certain style/approved by the architectural committee, etc..

Does anyone know of a good fencing company? Are the prices outrageous? Would I be better off to buy a post digger and try to do it myself?

:ohwell:


Advice would be appreciated. Thanks...

I would get the HOA Committee to give you some ideas on what would be acceptable first - then get prices. It would be ashame to get prices on one type of fence only to find out the HOA is not going to allow it.

Also, will the HOA allow you to install it yourself or do they want a pro to do it so it is done right?

Just had a fence done by Thomas Fence Company (Joe Thomas). They did a nice job and they are good people to work with. They were about $2K cheaper than the others. 301-769-2274

I had a fence replacement by Clinton Fence in Waldorf. Had to have a second trip by their "clean up" team to straighten and cement the fence posts cause the "day laborers" who did the job in the first place did such a shotty job.

Shoot ... if I'm paying for it, I'm not giving someone else the say in "who" does it. A few forumites helped me with mine, and it was done as "right" as I can imagine! :cheers:

Need more information.

How much fencing are we talking here? How quickly do you want it up? You should have been given a guideline by the HOA saying exactly what fence is allowed, and it should be a standard fence available at all home improvement centers (home depot, lowes). Fences are very easy to install if your lot is level, if it has a good grade to it (i.e. hill) you are better off paying to have it done. If you have a bunch of holes, rent a power auger to dig the holes, rather than using a manual post hole digger.

Wow...lots of replies!



Well, the back yard is only less than .25/acre---so it's not much. All very level, but I've got a stream to go over.

I want a standard 6ft. privacy fence...something like this:

http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=34463-77007-34463



I've seen ones like it in the neighborhood, so I'm pretty sure the HOA will approve it.

I'm just wondering if the price difference would be enough to merit me doing it myself, or just paying one of these companies to do it for me.




I offer beer in payment for Forum labor, by the way... :yay:

Oh, that'd be easy as hell to do! They sell that stuff pre-fabbed in 6-foot sections, I believe, at Lowes. Depending on when you're doing it, I'd be willing to help out. :shrug:

Definately do it yourself. Rent a 2 person power auger for the holes. Been there, done that, willing to help if schedules permit.
