I bought a new house and need to add a fence. I don't have time to donut with my work schedule.

I want to fence off a section for my dog so he doesn't tear up the entire back yard. All I need is a 13' section with a gate to block off an area for him.

Any recommendations for ppl that do it, or anyone here build fences?

What area you live in ? You want wood or chain link ? About how many feet you need to close in yard ?

In prairieville. It's only a 12' section I'd need. I have a house and the wood fence in the other sides. Looking at the 56" aluminum fence.

That would look good in my new yuppie house.

I have three sides blocked off already so it's just a short section, but I have never messed with that aluminum fence and am in my busy season foe work.

Slick it is a 2- 3 day 1-2 hour per day installation. Hire yourself a local teenager to do the work.

day one layout and posts.
day two cut attach panels
day 3 cut add gate in panels.

the fastes way would be a few wood posts, and two 8ft pre made fence sections. Add some gate hardware and you are good to go.


Dont concrete the posts unless your dog is a beast.

This Damn neighborhood is wearing off on me already.

I'd knock out a wooden, chain link, or barbed wire fence. I know exactly jack shite about aluminum and vinyl fences.

There's a couple of fence and deck companies around. Can't recall any off the top of my head but I see em riding around a good bit.

You're gonna pay out your arse per foot for just a 13' stretch though.

I think I'll call my cousins Mexicans. I'm sure they can do it. They work for beer too.

Good people and do good work, but as others have said expect to pay a premium for a small job
