We have put together some tips for measuring your yard for fence installation.
Spring is finally here. The weather is warming up, and you might want to take stock of your property and landscape. What does your perimeter fence look like? Do you need a brand new fence? If you do, you should start by measuring the dimensions of your yard first! We have put together some tips for measuring your yard for fence installation.
Confirm Property Lines
The first step is to confirm where your property lines are located. By doing this, you can be a good neighbor and avoid building anything in your neighbor’s yard without their permission. During this step, you should have completed a land survey. It’s always a good idea to know for sure you know where your property begins and ends. You can also determine how much fencing material you will need before you proceed.
Find Utility Lines
The second step is to figure out where the utility lines serving your home are hidden. Part of this process involves engaging ground-penetrating radar or GPR technology. Make sure you have documentation outlining where these are, and if you don’t, contact the team at Hercules Fence today! We can help you determine where the utility lines are to be found and mark them off so they don’t interfere with the fence installation process.
Determine Yard Slope
The third step is to determine the slope of your yard. You don’t want your brand-new fence to be crooked, because if it is, it might fall over more easily. Brand new fences shouldn’t collapse. The slope can affect how much fencing material you will need.
Measure the Fence Length
The fourth step is to measure the length of the fence. If you aren’t sure how to do this, don’t hesitate to get the professionals involved. All you need to do is use some stakes to outline where the fence goes, how big each panel should be, and even where the endpoints are!
Get Professional Help
The final step is to get professional help. Assembling and installing a brand new fence can be more complicated than you might expect, and you will want to be sure that it is done right the first time out without any further adjustments.
