This video from Joe Everest from Ozark Fence outlines the five mistakes you want to avoid when you are building a fence or having a fence built for you. Some of the mistakes listed here can come with a huge price tag.
The most expensive mistake that is noted is digging before you call to check for underground utilities. Starting a fencing project without checking for underground utilities is not just dangerous but can also come with a huge price tag. There are likely more underground utilities in your yard than what you are aware of.
You should always have the project area checked before your start digging.
Another mistake that you want to avoid is not digging in your post deep enough. The fence post should be buried below the frost line. The video continues by listing other common mistakes like buying pre-made panels, and not using a metal frame on your gate. There are two more mistakes that are presented and an additional bonus mistake that you want to avoid. Before you build a new fence or have a new fence built, you should watch this video.
