Common questions
FAQ
Straight answers about Kentucky fencing — depths, materials, and the way we build.
How deep should fence posts go in Kentucky?+
The National Weather Service frost line for Central and Southern Kentucky sits around 24–30 inches. We set standard posts 30 inches deep and gate / corner posts 36 inches to keep everything plumb through freeze-thaw cycles.
What's the best fence for a Kentucky horse farm?+
For thoroughbreds, a 4-board oak or PT pine fence painted black is the classic Bluegrass look. For lower maintenance, vinyl 4-board is durable, safe, and doesn't need re-painting. Both use 5x5 posts set 36 inches deep with corner bracing on tension runs.
Cedar vs vinyl privacy — which lasts longer in Kentucky weather?+
Cedar naturally resists rot and can last 20–25 years if sealed every few years. Vinyl carries a lifetime warranty and shrugs off UV, moisture, and mildew — no staining ever. Cedar has more warmth and character; vinyl wins on maintenance.
How many 80-lb concrete bags per fence post?+
For a typical 10-inch diameter, 30-inch deep hole with a 4-inch post, you'll need roughly 1.5–2 bags of 80-lb concrete per hole. Our calculator does the math based on your exact hole size and post section.
Do you build fences outside Pulaski County?+
Yes. We regularly serve Pulaski, Wayne, McCreary, Russell, Laurel, Casey, Lincoln, and Rockcastle counties. For jobs outside our normal service area, ask — we may still be a fit.
How long does a residential fence install take?+
Most residential jobs (150–300 linear ft) take our crew 2–4 working days from post-set to gate hardware. Weather delays for concrete cure time can add a day.
Do you pull permits?+
Yes, when required. Rules vary by county and HOA. We check permit requirements as part of every free estimate.
