Consider your property terrain
A well graded lawn or pasture allows many options for post and gate locations, while a rocky hillside will require extra measures to ensure long lasting footings and functionality
Pets, Animals, Livestock
Fences are often built with the intent to keep your investments in and unwanted visitors out. Dogs, Horses, Cattle, Goats, Sheep, Deer, Llamas, Chickens and Predators all present different demands from a fence and should be considered while planning.
Access
Determining the right size and placement of gates during planning is the first step in ensuring functionality of your property. From a daily-use driveway gate to seasonal pasture access. Gate locations should not only match the fence type but also how the client intends to use their property.
