Best Answer

I recently replaced the entire backyard fence at my home. To determine an accurate linear footage, measure the perimeter of the area to be fenced. Fence posts for both wood and chain link fences are placed eight feet apart. Don't forget to add one extra at the start of the fence and on both sides of any gate. Determine the number of gates into the fenced area.

Any reputable fence contractor will provide an on-site estimate ,at no charge, of linear footage, materials required including (gates, posts, staining, old fence haul-off), and installation costs separately in writing. I created my own estimate to test against and better understand vendor estimates. I spoke with 4 vendors. My experience shows that costs roughly run half for labor, half for materials. The arduousness of the job helped justify for me the cost of labor.

The crew took 2 days to erect a galvanized post, 2x4 treated lumber supporting overlapping cedar fence, complete with two gates. I stained it and saved $200. Were I to do it again, I'd let them stain it

Getting a strong fence helps keep your lawn safe?

Keeping one's lawn safe from destruction is one of the primary purposes of getting a fence. It is important that everyone considers what type of fence they are going to get before they make the purchase though. They should consider getting a chain link fence in most cases. This is a very common type of fence, and it will not look out of place on most properties. It is also a good idea to keep in mind that payment per yard of fence is common, so carefully consider how much fence will be needed and which areas need to be covered.

Yes and no, for most tests they look for the presence of THC, not the amount. There are ways they can see how much is in your system by your hair and/or blood by the amount of THC per pint of blood. But even then this is not close to accurate about how often. It just tells us how much
