Fencing Contractor

Fencers construct and repair fences, walls and gates. Fencing contractors build metal fences, such as chain link, and various styles of wooden fences. They may erect different types of fences or specialize in only one type. Sometimes fencing contractors are classified by the type of fence they build.

Fencing contractors begin their work by measuring and laying out the fence line according to instructions. Once the frame is built, the rest of the fence material is added. For metal fences, fencing contractors stretch and attach wire, wire mesh, or chain link fencing between posts. For wooden fences, they nail slats to the rails. Once all fence sections are completed, fencing contractors assemble the gate using the same method. Finally, they fasten the gate into position.

Some fencing contractors use other methods and styles of fencing. For example, they may weld metal fence parts together rather than inserting rails into supports. Also, they may build other wooden fence styles, such as solid wood panel.
