If the stakes inadvertently get removed there will be visual data to support the boundary lines that are in place.\u00a0 Installing the fence on property that is not yours can add exorbitant costs to your project.<\/li>\n<li>The Lack of Properly Examining Local Zoning Laws: Not all areas allow fences to be installed.\u00a0 Check with local ordinances, H.O.A.\u2019s and such to be sure of all the requirements that must be met.\u00a0 Also look into materials that are off limits, along with colors and styles that might not meet the requirements set forth.\u00a0 Installing a fence that doesn\u2019t meet the guidelines is costly.\u00a0 The rules will not change just because the fence is installed so be prepared to uninstall that new fence if it doesn\u2019t follow the guidelines in your area.<\/li>\n<li>The Lack of Properly Checking for Underground Utilities: Make the proper phone call before you start digging.\u00a0 Miss Dig will come out to the property for free and mark all of the underground utilities in the area.\u00a0 Proper planning will allow you to place the fence in areas that avoid these areas.\u00a0 Aluminum posts need to be dug into the ground with at least one third of the fence posts height being in the ground.\u00a0 Aluminum gate posts need to be installed at a minimum of thirty inches deep.\u00a0 This call is an important one.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget to make it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In our next installment we will cover more mistakes to avoid when installing or replacing fencing.\u00a0 Small avoidable mistakes can add extra stress to a large project such as installing an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifenceusa.com\/\">aluminum fence<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Articles like this are provided to help homeowners from making the mistakes that those before them have.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifenceusa.com\/\">iFenceUSA<\/a> offers the widest variety of maintenance-free, no-rust aluminum fences and gates in the industry!
