5 Common Myths About Custom Fence Builders Debunked

Here are five common myths about fence builders and installations that simply are not true, and Superior Fence & Rail, as your Lehi fence company, can prove it based on our two decades of Lehi fence installation expertise.

Myth 1: You Are Sure To Save Tons Of Money By Doing It Yourself 

Really – says who? Just because your brother-in-law is one of the handiest guys you know, and he enjoys being busy all the time, how is his wife going to react when he spends days on end – and maybe even weeks – trying to be your Lehi fence builder. We don’t think so.

Besides, do you really think he has the stuff to install a fence that will last a virtual lifetime. Probably not. So, let’s move on.

And as for saving money, ah … that’s a good one. Have you ever heard of “Penny wise, Pound foolish?”

First if all, when it comes to being your own Lehi fence installation source, you simple don’t know what you don’t know including:

• How to measure your properly accurately
• How to anticipate how much fencing material, posts, gates and rails you will need
• What the necessary tools are that will be required for this project – and if you don’t have them, chances are slim – really slim – that your neighbor will have them for you to borrow
• Should you be able to borrow the tools, what happens if they get broken or damaged as he does his “I got this covered” routine – “Don’t worry”
• What kind of Lehi fence builder materials to buy to complete your fencing – and where to buy it locally including how long it will take to receive them?
• What are the best materials suited for your location, considering the local climate, weather conditions and HOA regulations?
• Speaking of Homeowners Associations, will he or you be able to provide accurate documentation when asking for permission for your Lehi fence installation?
• As for saving money – really saving money, you know, cold hard cash – how do you know that the pricing on the fencing materials is reasonable? Could you be paying too much?
• What about under buying or over buying what you’ll need? Returns?
• And most importantly of all, not all the YouTube videos in the world are going to make the unschooled installer a professional overnight. Fat chance that will happen.

Superior, the Lehi fence company experts serving the Salt Lake City area, have the expertise, tools, and experience to ensure the job is done correctly and efficiently the first time, which often saves money in the long run.

Myth 2: All Lehi Fence Installation Companies Are The Same

Ah … not so much.

As surprising as it may sound, Lehi fence company builder materials can vary greatly, along with the installer’s level of Lehi fence installation experience.

Myth 3: All Fences Will Never Need Maintenance Of Any Kind

Wrong again, folks. The only Lehi fence builder materials that will never need maintenance are Aluminum, Vinyl and Trex Composite.

No matter what the weather, or what wrath Mother Nature decides to throw at us, the only maintenance they will need is a quick rinse of the garden hose to restore their original pristine condition. If your kids engage in a mud fight after a rainstorm, well them, it may need a little scrub or two.

Should you desire to have the beautifully natural texture and hues of our Wood fences, eventually they may need to be sealed and stained to continue to resist moisture and prevent rot.

Myth 4: You Really Don’t Need A Permit For Fence Installation As It Is Not Necessary, After All, It Is My Property

Boy, oh boy. Wrong again, my friends.

Many local municipalities insist on specific rules, specifications and regulations regarding permitted height, location, and materials for your Lehi fence installation. If you don’t comply, what’s the worst that can happen? You may just wind up getting a huge fine or be forced to remove that fence. Ouch!

Myth 5: Be Sure To Set Your Fence Posts In Concrete Always

Not exactly, folks – not always in all cases. Typically our posts are set in concrete, but it all depends on your local soil condition and structure.

Perimeters with bad drainage can hold moisture in, impacting your Lehi fence posts, and that possibly may lead to decay over time. Our Lehi fence installation pros know the best post installation methodology for all area ground conditions.
