So we know how to save money on fencing. We thought we’d share a few tips you can use to save on your next fence installation.
Know Your Budget
The first thing you need to do when shopping for a new fence is to set a budget. Decide how much money you have, and when you speak to a salesperson, give them an idea of what you were hoping to spend. This is the fastest way to find a fence solution that will suit your budget.
Speak to an Expert
Most people think fences are simple, but the truth is, they’re one of the more complicated things you can install. There are so many types of fences, so many different ways to install them, and so many factors that can affect the price that it’s always best to speak to a professional. Sometimes, simple changes like a slight layout adjustment can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars!
Prepare as Much as You Can
While we recommend you leave things like pulling posts and cores out of the ground to the professionals, if you can take down the bulk of the fence and dispose of it yourself, you can save on labour, bin fees, dumping costs, and so on. Likewise, if you remove any obstructions along the fence line, cut back vegetation, and make the site as easy as possible to access, you will save money that way, too.
Install In Phases
If you don’t have the money right now to install a fence along your entire perimeter, automate a cantilever gate, add security, or something else, start the process with those things in mind. If we know from the start what your long-term plans are, we can take steps from day one to make them easier to implement.
Adjust Your Fence Line
Fencing is a strange commodity in that the longer and straighter it is, the cheaper it becomes per linear foot. A long straight fence on level ground will be much cheaper than a fence with lots of corners, ends, changes in direction, and elevation changes. While you can’t control what your site looks like, you can adjust your fence line to take the path of least resistance and save money that way.
