Things to Remember Before Building Your Vinyl Fence

So, you've decided that it's finally time for a vinyl horse fence! Excellent! But before you begin the process, there are a few preliminary steps you should review and plan prior to construction.

First of all, it's probably a good idea to discuss your fencing plans with neighbors or property owners who own land at the borders your property. This is especially true for those property lines that will be affected by your fence. It is 100% imperative that you ensure your vinyl fence will be located entirely on your property. This means that the fence line should lie inside your property line – not on the line.

It's also a good idea to check if your property has easements (a right of way guaranteed to a separate party) that might limit the design, size, or location of your fence. When checking on your deed, it's also a good idea to review records of underground utility. Checking beforehand where the underground utilities may be will help you communicate your concerns with your fencing provider prior to the big day. Remember, before you begin any digging or excavation, it is imperative to check for any underground utility that may be in the area. This includes power lines, cable lines, pipes or sewer lines, septic lines, and any other utility that may be located underground on your property.

It's also a good idea to review any zoning laws in your local area. Occasionally, zoning laws can regulate the size, design, or placement of your fencing. If you plan to construct a vinyl horse fence in an area located inside a historic district or an area that could be considered a subdivision, it's very important that you consult your neighborhood association and review any property covenants prior to construction. You may also find it wise to contact your local building inspection team in order to gather information you may need considering the shape, diameter, or depth of your fence. And finally, you will also find it wise to apply for building permits that may be required by local code.

We've already discussed the importance of ensuring your horse or pasture fence will complement your existing construction and will be aesthetically pleasing when compared to its surroundings. Remember, the construction of a vinyl horse or pasture fence is a major project. For this reason, it's a good idea to take some time to examine all the aspects involved with vinyl horse fence construction. At the end of your project, you, and those around you, will be happy you've done your homework.

Vinyl is Better

Have you ever given any thought to what exactly makes the vinyl horse fence better than fencing made of other more standard construction materials? If you're considering the purchase of a vinyl fence to protect your investment, it might be a good idea to look into the factors that make vinyl so superior and other materials so inferior. To help you in your decision making process, consider the following information as education toward getting the most bang for your buck when it comes to your pasture fencing.

First of all, vinyl horse fencing is superior to standard fencing because of the strength and durability. Vinyl horse fencing will not dry rot or become weak due to age, nor is it porous. Basically, this means that your vinyl horse fence will not absorb and hold water, which helps to resist mold and mildew.

Your vinyl horse fence is also more attractive than standard horse fencing materials. Vinyl horse fencing can be ordered in a wide variety of styles and colors. These colors can be made to complement your home or other surrounding structures. Most horse owners find it beneficial to match the color or their vinyl horse fence to that of their home, their barn, or their stable. One of the beauties of a vinyl horse fence is that it can be customized to add to the aesthetics of your property instead of taking away. Unlike standard fencing materials eight page, mildew, or rightist, vinyl horse fencing seeks only to enhance. The color never fades, the fence never needs painting, and most of the time. Repairs are completely avoidable.

An additional upside to using vinyl horse and pasture fencing as opposed to anything made from standard materials. Is that most vinyl horse fence companies do offer at least some warranty program for their products. Because of the durability and strength of the material, manufacturers of vinyl horse fencing typically find that offering a substantial warrantee is beneficial not only to themselves, but to their clients as well.

If you're considering a vinyl horse fence but have not yet made up your mind, consider doing some research on the pros and cons of the material and educate yourself on the construction process as a whole. You will find that making the decision to invest in a vinyl horse fence to protect your animals and your property will be one of the best decisions you could make.

How High Should You Build Your Horse Fence?

Have you ever wondered about the height of your horse fencing? It’s true that the rules for measuring the height of fences that are used to constrain other types of livestock do not necessarily apply to the factors that determine the height of horse fencing. Because horses have a more athletic build and are more likely to jump a fence when spooked, it is recommended that your fence height be at least 60 inches or 5 feet. A height of the least 5 feet will deter your horses from making an attempt at a high jump. A fence of this height is also a good idea for deterring passersby from reaching over the fence to pet or feed your horses. While it's not always bothersome to have passersby petting your horses, not all people are horse friendly. So to protect your animals, and the passersby, be sure and install a fence of an adequate height.

If your pasture is small, less than two acres, a general rule of thumb is that your fence line should be at eye level with the horse's head. When the horse is standing in a natural position, the top of the fence rail should be parallel to his or her eye level. A vinyl horse fence that stands at the horses’ eye level will deter the horses from leaning over the fence or fighting over the fence. This rule also holds true for dancing around corrals and pens.

A fence that acts as a divider between two pastures will typically stand about 4 1/2 feet high. The bottom of the dividing fence should be between six and 8 inches off of the ground. It's important to keep the bottom of the fence and adequate distance from the ground to ensure that the horses will keep the fence line grazed. If the fence is too low; your horses may have the tendency to paw. You may also find that keeping your fence a certain distance off the ground will make we eating, and other landscaping maintenance a little simpler.

Almost as important as the fence height is your fencing material. For the best quality horse fence, be sure and choose vinyl as your material of choice from a horse fencing is both durable and aesthetically appealing. Not to mention the fact that it requires very little maintenance and will allow you to concentrate on more important things.
