(Frequently Asked Questions)

 CAUTION: Always wear goggles when working with wire of any kind. The "whipping" action of a loose strand could take out your favorite eye. Pick up nails when working with wood fence. You will avoid stepping on it later and the lawn mower won't throw it into your neighbor's pet. Keep fingers out of pinch points when working around gates and you'll always be able to count to ten.
For simplicity we have broken down our FAQ sheet into several main categories.  If you can't find what you need, complete the form at Ask the Fencer with your question or follow the links for "MORE QUESTIONS" in each section, if available.  That section contains a lot more information than linked here.
