Fridley, MN - Northland Fence published a blog post about installing the most manageable fence: a no dig fence. This fence requires few tools and less time than traditional options for fence installation. It is the best option for attempting to install a fence oneself because it is sturdy, requires little maintenance, and comes in various materials. One can remove posts if a mistake is made during installation.
“The easiest fence to install yourself is a no dig fence. A no dig fence is very self-explanatory. The traditional fence installation of digging post bases that are eventually filled with cement. No dig fences are posts built with spikes on the end that can be pushed and hammered deep into the ground to secure their base,” the blog post states.
To install a no dig fence, people lay out their fence plans and gather materials, which include no dig posts and a hammer or mallet. They then detach the screw from the spike and create a hole in their yard. Following, they slide the panel and secure it in the ground. They then repeat the process until they have installed all the panels. While one person can complete this process, having at least one other person can result in an easier installation.
There are several types of no dig fences, all meant to withstand Minnesota winters. Some common fence types include vinyl, wrought iron, chain link, and wood. However, there are better options than wood fences as they require much maintenance and can rot, mold, and attract pests that will damage the fence. On one’s own, vinyl can be challenging to install as it requires lining posts up correctly, but after they line up correctly, they easily snap together and lock into place. They also require very little maintenance in the future and allow privacy and protection. Wrought iron and chain link fences are among the easiest to install as their panels are often pre-made.
There are several pros and cons to installing a fence without an installation company. For example, it is less expensive. Hiring someone can include extra labor fees, while self-installation only requires the purchase of materials. Self-installation can also ensure the project turns out exactly as planned and can leave the person satisfied once the project is complete. The downside is that installing a fence alone can take a long time. Mistakes are also more likely to happen when someone tries to install their fence. Professionals have installed fences multiple times, decreasing the chance of errors and less time spent fixing those mistakes.
“While it does require having a slightly bigger budget than only buying the fence materials, most professionals who install fences are not going to cost an arm and a leg. It is worth the extra money to give you peace of mind that your fence is safe, sturdy, and correctly installed the first time,” the blog post continues.
