Fence Installation in Upatoi

On the smaller residential lots the work looks like the rest of suburban Columbus: wood privacy for back yards, chain link where a dog is the reason, aluminum where the fence faces the road. On acreage the calculus changes entirely. Fencing hundreds of feet of perimeter in privacy panel is rarely the right spend, and woven wire, high-tensile smooth wire or a board fence with wire backing does the job for a fraction of the cost per foot.

Heavy tree cover is the defining site condition out here, and it cuts two ways. Trees make a fence line harder to run straight and put roots in the way of post holes, which adds labor. They also make a fence far less visually necessary along a back line that is already screened. Homeowners who walk their line before quoting frequently find they need less fence than they thought.

Limb fall is the most common cause of fence damage in wooded areas, well ahead of wind acting on the fence itself. That argues for two things: keeping the fence line clear of obviously compromised overhanging limbs where practical, and choosing a construction that repairs in sections rather than one that has to come down as a unit.
