FAQs

Fencing FAQ — Illinois

Leaning immediately after installation almost always indicates posts weren't set deep enough or weren't properly set in concrete. Fence posts should be set at least 1/3 of their total length underground (typically 2–3 feet) in concrete. Contact the installer in writing with photos — this is a clear workmanship defect that should be corrected at no charge.

Stop additional installation on the disputed section and have a licensed surveyor verify your property line — this is the only authoritative way to settle a boundary dispute. If the fence is on the wrong side, the contractor may be responsible for moving it if they were given your property survey to work from. If you didn't provide survey info, this may be a shared responsibility.

Material is the biggest driver — chain link vs. wood vs. vinyl vs. aluminum vs. steel. Within wood, cedar costs 2–3x more than treated pine. Also check post spacing (6 ft vs. 8 ft), post diameter, concrete depth, and whether gates are included. Low quotes often use lighter materials with less concrete and shallower posts — which shows up in 3–5 years.

No — you have the right to install on your own property without neighbor consent. However, good practice is to notify neighbors, confirm the boundary with a survey, and check HOA rules if applicable. Some municipalities require fence permits and have rules about height, materials, and 'good neighbor' orientation (finished side facing out).

Some minor gap increase from wood shrinkage is normal in the first season. But large gaps (over 1/2") suggest boards were installed too tight (which causes warping/cupping as they expand) or the wrong wood species was used. A good installer accounts for this by spacing boards appropriately at installation. Very large gaps may indicate a substandard install.

A properly installed cedar fence lasts 15–20 years; treated pine, 10–15 years. Annual or biannual staining/sealing dramatically extends lifespan. Posts set in soil-contact concrete at proper depth are the life-limiting factor — post rot is how most fences fail. Switching to metal post sleeves or concrete anchor bases can extend fence life significantly.
