Post #1392123

We had a big wind storm and parts of the 6' high privacy fence that surrounds the property have broken. I have started calling fencing contractors but fear this is gonna be really really expensive to replace because we are talking about a 1/4 acre rectangle. Does anyone have any advice or experience in fence shopping and the right questions to ask the contractor? I have to admit the fence is in really bad shape - I can probably take the old fence down and dispose of it but I need someone to put the new fence up right. DH is in the middle of renovating the upstairs bathroom and works full time - really cannot bother him with more work.

I really don't like the new super white vinyl stuff. Ugly. We have a wooden fence but it was obviously the lowest quality and no one kept it up with wood preservatives or paint. So it has rotted. I am thinking pressure treated wood. More expensive but I don't want to do this again soon.

Thanks for any help you can offer
