Congratulations on your decision to install a new fence! One of the most frequently asked questions we get from potential customers involves measuring for their fence and properly determining their property lines and boundaries. No worries because Superior Fence & Rail of Orlando is here to answer all these questions for you. Join us as we answer the frequently asked questions (FAQs) about measurements and property boundaries.
First and foremost, before measuring for your fence, you must determine your property boundaries. You will need to have a copy of your property survey to ensure your fence placement is within the correct boundaries. Keep in mind, it is also important that you are aware of any required setbacks or right-of-way’s (if applicable for your property), prior to measuring. If you do not have a property survey, it is crucial that you do. This is not only for your new fence installation but also because many professional contractors will require one before doing any kind of remodeling or improvement project on your property. A survey is the only way you can accurately determine your property boundaries. As a proactive home or business owner, this is an important document to keep on hand for reference.
Surveyors will generally mark the 4-corners of your property with a ribbon or stake during your initial survey of the property. In many cases, these markers may still be visible years down the road. This will give you some idea of where your property lines are; however, to be certain, we recommend looking at your property survey for the exact location of your property lines. If you cannot use your survey as a reference to mark the lines yourself, contact a professional surveyor for guidance. Remember that most reputable fence companies, such as Superior Fence & Rail, can determine your property lines based on your property survey or plot plan.
Many fencing specialists suggest you use a fencing formula to measure for a fence. However, the formula is as simple as measuring the length of your fence line accurately and then dividing by the width of the panels. Here at Superior Fence & Rail of Orlando, we take all the guesswork out of how to measure for a fence and other fence parameter questions. As a professional fence installer, we do all this for you!
