Adding aluminum and white pvc fence and gates is a huge project for any homeowner. Many homeowners opt to do installation by themselves and save the money, get exercise along with sense of accomplishment. However, if done wrong, the fence and gates can create unnecessary problems.
At Aruvil, we focus on giving best fence experience to our customers. Here are tips by our experts about the things to avoid while installing the white pvc fence and gates.
- Cutting Underground Cables:-Majority of places in the country have underground cables for telephone services. Before digging the holes for fences, make sure there are no underground cables under your fence that you can accidentally cut. Before you install the fence, call the local electric company and inquire about the underground cables.
- Digging Post Holes without Forethought:- To know the right way to dig holes, it is crucial to plan them in advance. Call an expert to determine the number of section and check if it is divisible by 72.5”. This is acceptable if last section is not 1’ to 2’ in length. To understand the mathematics, you need an experts to create right spacing for fences.
- Digging Post Holes Manually :- One question that all homeowners ask our experts is whether to dig holes for the fences manually or with an auger. The use of the auger depends upon various factors namely soil composition and fence length. A property with harder soil requires an auger and if the soil is filled with roots and rocks, then you will do the digging both manually and with auger. Remember, the expense of an auger will offset the cost of manual labor, additional time and the backaches.
- Post Location Issues :- One problem that many homeowners have is the location of the post. The end post of the house are the first and basic concern. The end post needs to be close to the home with touching the house. The problem that happens while installing end post is of the foundation of the home. Many times, the foundation’s footer is in the way. Do not break the foundation as it might unbalanced the house. Try digging a hole a few more inches away, so that you do not hit the foundation.
Second post location you need to focus on is the gate post locations. A gate with 4’ wide gates need 48” gate posts from inside of one gate post to inside of other gate posts. - Dry Set Concrete :- Selection of right kind of concrete is also a necessity. Usually, a wet set concrete is preferred to be poured in the post holes. When dried perfectly the post remain strong and properly in position. Call an expert to ensure the right kind of the concrete that should be used.
