Fencing a new yard, closing in pasture for horses or livestock, or putting a neat fence along the road out front? Tell us what the fence is for and roughly how far it runs.
Fence types
- Chain link: galvanized or black-coated, a durable pick for dogs and property lines.
- Vinyl: privacy, picket and ranch-rail styles that never need paint.
- Wood: privacy and picket fences in pressure-treated pine.
- Field and farm fence: woven or welded wire for goats, horses, cattle and gardens.
- Gates: walk gates and wide drive gates for trucks, mowers and trailers.
Clay soil and deep frost
Ashland County clay holds water and winter frost runs deep. Setting posts below the frost line, planning for drainage and clearing the line keep a new fence standing straight year after year.
