Do You NEED Tension wire?

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:06:37 +0100

Tension wire is a wire that runs the boundary of chain link fencing,It is attached at the terminal post at the bottom of the fence and pulled tight then is connected to the wire mesh with "hog rings". The purpose in this wire is to keep anything from pushing under the fence.I strongly suggest this,the cost is only pennies per ft. well worth the piece of mind you get by having it.It is always included in my pricing,be sure to ask your contractor when getting your quote.

With the economy in the state it's in we all need a break,The cost of a new fence in any style is at a all time low,but still it can be costly. Im doing more and more "face lifts" on faded warped fences,for example a 6' wood privacy fence can cost as little as 12.00 per ft.100' = 1,200 dollars,add a gate for 100.00 and your looking at 1,300.
If you have a fence but it needs work,power washing and sealing, that will bring some life back to it,now you need to replace warped and cracked pickets and rails,now how about cutting arches or scallop the top, this can take care of those uneven,warping pickets and looks great!
maybe your gate is sagging and hardware is not working properly , we can repair that also.now your looking at five or six hundred for the total job, that's great savings! now just add some custom post caps and that old fence is looking 20 yrs. younger, wouldn't we all like that?

Thanks for looking, Kevin

With so many in the construction industry out of work at this time there is alot of "Jacks of all trades" advertising to build fences,This is not to say most will not do a good job but I am Doing more and more repairs on on fences in Raleigh,Cary and the rest of the Triangle where the job was just not done correctly,with substandard materials or insufficient materials for the job.For example, A 6' wood fence should have 8' post set in at least 22" of concrete,3 2x4 horizontal rails,ring shank galvanized nails and if they use 4x6 or 6x6 post for the gates, Even better! I am seeing more 6' fences built with 4' framework,no concrete and cheap gate hardware.

In Raleigh and the Triangle area,There are alot of GREAT fence contractors,Most cannot compete with the price these handymen are quoting,I could look at it as job security because I am repairing alot of their work,But it is at the customers cost,A cost you should not have to pay.Wouldnt you like to feel confident that the contractor you hire will still be around in a year or more if you need warranty work done!
I would suggest checking a company out with the BBB and Google the company name,This will give you a good view of any complaints and info on the company,You will find that a few companies have multiple domains and websites,This can be deceiving and Just because a company has a nice website is not a good reason to hire them.I am always happy to try to answer any questions,Whether you hire my company or not please call anytime.
Looking forward to hearing from you!---Kevin
