Before you attempt a fencing project, you should take time to carefully plan out your project. This will help you determine what type of fence you want, where you want it placed, and what you want the finished project to look like.
The first planning step is to consider your reasons for wanting a fence. Do you need it for child safety, pet protection, decorative purposes, privacy, or as a barrier to trespassers?

The next planning step is to determine if you will do the work yourself, or if you will hire a professional to do the work. Professionals can handle the entire project for you, saving you a lot of frustration and hard work; or you may hire a fencing contractor to complete only a portion of the job. Fence building does require a lot of time and effort, but you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of a job well done if you follow some basic tips for building.
Another thing to consider in your fence planning is the measurements. Careful measurement is a necessity if you want to purchase the proper quantity of materials and avoid problems during installation. It is always important to check your property's boundary lines when measuring for fence construction. You do not want to have to make your neighbor upset and have to remove a just installed fence because you did not stay within your property boundaries. Another important item to check during fence measurement and before fence construction is your local ordinances and homeowners association rules. You need to make sure that the fence you build meets all required specifications.
The next thing to do is to contact your local utilities and have them come and mark your property. Buried lines and cables must be considered before you begin digging fence posts. If there are lines buried where you planned to build, you will need to adjust your plans and re-measure before purchasing materials.
There are many fencing material options available to you when you are doing fence planning. You want to choose a quality material that will last, and a material that will give you the desired effect of decoration, privacy, or property barrier. Some of the options for fence types include picket fences, board fences, rail fences, lattice fences, PVC fences, aluminum fences, chain link fences, basket weave fences and custom fences. Any wooden fence can be constructed from different types of wood. A wooden fence can be painted, stained or left natural. A metal fence can also be painted.
One other item to consider in fence planning is where you want your gate or gates to be located for easy access and security. You want to be sure that you plan accordingly as the gate will require additional spacing to allow it to open and close.
If you do decide to complete a fence project yourself, make sure that you have access to all of the tools that you will need for fence installation and post digging, in addition to the materials for the fence itself.
Fence construction is a hard, but rewarding job. You will be proud of the finished product on your property if you carefully think through your fence project before you begin construction.
