FAQs
FENCES
What style of fence is right for my needs?
Everyone has different reasons for wanting a fence-ranging from privacy, pets, children, definition of property boundaries or as an attractive addition to the look of their property. Our design consultant will help you consider the best choices for your specific needs.

Can I choose some of the hardware for gates, etc.?
Yes. We typically install our own heavy duty hardware, but we are always open to specific needs that you may have for a certain look, or to match something that already exists.

Is wood more expensive than chain link?
No, they're about the same right now because steel prices have gone up recently. At Atlanta Decking & Fence, we believe wood is distinctively more attractive and may have a higher perceived value when you sell your home.

Which fence material do you recommend-pressure-treated pine or cedar?
Because most people want a fence that is going to last a long time, not need a lot of attention and is cost efficient, the most popular choice is pressure-treated pine. Cedar's characteristics include being a stable, straight board with little or no inclination to twist. This makes it a good material for fences with a high level of detail. Cedar's shortcoming is in the fact that wherever it is allowed to be in contact with the ground (at the bottom of the fence usually) it will rot.

Do I need a survey before we build the fence?
Not necessarily. If you can locate the boundary pins (markers) delineating your property's borders-you're probably fine. We will be happy to assist in locating the pins if you have a copy of a past survey to work from or a good idea of where you think they are located. (We can bring a metal detector.) Otherwise, we strongly recommend you have a surveyor come and mark your property. This will protect you from encroaching on your neighbor's property (and any legal problems that could result).
