Find your fence

What are you fencing for?

Tick what matters most and the best matches move to the top. The prices are typical installed ranges around Peterborough, so you know roughly where you stand before you pick up the phone.

Frost line cross-sectionTwo fence posts in the ground. The left post is set too shallow, so frozen ground has pushed it up and tilted it. The right post is set in concrete below the frost line, about 4 feet down, and stays straight.Frost lineFrozen ground swells4 fttypical around PeterboroughSet too shallowSet below the frost line

The part you never see

Cheap fences lean by their second winter.

Frozen ground swells and shoves anything set too shallow upward, and one heaved post drags the whole run out of line. So every structural post we set goes below the frost line, in concrete. It’s the least visible part of the job and the reason a fence lasts twenty years instead of two.

It’s also the first thing to ask any contractor about, and we put it in writing.
