DIY vs. Call a Pro
A basic wood or vinyl fence is a popular DIY project. Call 811 before digging. Set posts in concrete every 6-8 feet, let cure 24-48 hours, then attach rails and pickets. Use a string line for straight runs and a level for plumb posts.
Call a professional when:
Hire a professional for metal fences, sloped terrain, very long runs, or if you want a warranty. Also consider a pro if your soil is rocky or you have underground utilities.
