Factors Affecting South Carolina Fence Installation Costs

By Harold Turner


Erecting a timber fence is no mean a task, but it is neither a difficult. With a fair extent of knowledge, a few domestic equipment, and some bit of industry, you can make a fence that will be the attractive to your surroundings. This article will outlay the basic steps involved in wooden South Carolina fence installation.

Although the method is archaic, it is beautiful and conspicuous especially to those who have not lost touch with tradition. It is simple, economical and generally strong. The installation is also unpretentious because it uses basic tools such as, an axe, wedge, helmet and a pair of gloves. Most importantly, the method is essential in recycling inoperative timbers and producing a useful, as well as attractive enclosure.

Features-Think about the type of fencing you wish to install. Almost all will have additional, optional features which will directly impact on the cost. If it's wooden, then a choice of wood might count as an additional feature. There might be various fence-tops, designs, trellis or shaped posts which will all affect the enclosure installation cost. You may even want it electrified if you're containing livestock within the boundaries. The additional cost of the wiring and the electric unit must also be included.

Firstly, measure the perimeter of the area you want to enclose. The boundary line should be marked clearly to avoid confusion. To do this, mark all the corners using ground stakes and make a discernible outline by tying a guideline from one corner to another. In essence, this guarantees you a straight and well-stretched line.

Enclosure Additions-There might be additional features to the enclosure you require, such as gates or stiles which have to be factored in to the enclosure installation cost. A single gate can increase the budget significantly so is worth bearing in mind.

Step 4: Hanging the Gates-Once you have the rails and slats attached, it is time to hang the gates. Pre-fab gates are available through many retailers, and are highly recommended for both homeowners and professionals. Bolts attach the hinges, mostly in bigger gates since they will hold most of the mass of the gate.

Measure the length from post to post and cut your rail matching the length and size as of all rails as close as possible to maintain a spruce appearance. With the help of your axe and your wedge, split the post from top to bottom. Make sure the split is wider at the at the top than at the bottom.

Building a fence is not a minor undertaking but can be very rewarding. Given adequate preparation, information, and assistance anyone can install a wooden fence that improves both the appearance and utility of the property.
