Common Questions
Project FAQ
01What was replaced in the NE 7th fence project?
The project replaced 116 linear feet of failed cedar fencing with an upgraded 2-rail plus top rail tight knot cedar privacy fence, using a Sure Post metal post system instead of traditional wood posts for enhanced durability.
02What is the Sure Post metal post system and why was it chosen?
Sure Post replaces traditional wood posts with metal posts that resist rot, insect damage, and ground-level deterioration. This significantly extends fence lifespan and eliminates the most common failure point in residential fencing.
03How should I evaluate whether my fence needs replacement versus repair?
If posts are rotting at ground level, multiple sections are leaning, or the fence is over 15 years old with widespread deterioration, full replacement with upgraded post systems typically offers better long-term value than repeated repairs.
