One of the most often overlooked aspects of a fence installation is the timeline. Essentially, the major focus is on cost and compliance issues with little attention being given to the date and time of completion. So, with this in mind, today, our sole feature will be on this very facet of fence work. It’s not as simple as hiring a fence contractor and they do the installation over night. There are logistics and preparations that go into the whole process, heck, there is a whole set of things you gotta finish before you can even think about the completion period.
Let’s dive into all of it and explain in detail what you can expect regarding a fence installation timeline. Here we go!
Pre Installation To do List You Must Complete Before Installation Can Commence
Before starting the timer on the fence installation to see how much time everything will take, you need to do other things first. They are all pre-requisites and without them, a fence installation can become nearly impossible. So, let’s quickly go over them:
- Decide the fence’s aesthetic and theme. While it might not seem like that big of a deal, it actually kind of is. That’s because other than the fact that it’s your fence, so you gotta pick the visual design and decorative element, there is also the matter of budgeting. The more stylish and expensive the material, the more likely it will take longer to construct and customize.
- Also, you need to prep the land for your fence, so you have to factor in clean up of debris and vegetation growth around the property where the fence installation is supposed to take place. It might seem easy on paper, but trust us, it will take time.
- Finally, you need the official permission in the form of HOA (Homeowners Association) written approval, and a fence permit from your local government building department. It’s a real slog to get through, but without them, you cannot legally install your fences on your property.
Once you’ve got all these things in order, you can officially mark your calendar to initiate the timeline for your fence installation.
Day 1-3 — Prepping The Yard/Lawn/Outdoor Space
The first few days will require a lot of physical activity and manual labor, so be prepared for it mentally. You will need to dig, or have the professional fencing contractor come over and do this for you. You can watch and oversee their work, as they prime the property ground and remove any obstacles that need clearing. If the land is uneven, then you’ll have to factor in extra time to adjust the panels and their footing to account for the unleveled terrain.
The days will be spent on marking the territory and the layout of the fence’s boundary so that everything else proceeds without a hitch. You will see the fence material dumped on the yard, which will be assembled in the coming days.
Day 4-6 — Pitching Posts And Letting Them Cure
After the first couple of days of haphazardness, you’ll start to see the method and order in the fence installation process. The team will be installing the fence posts and land letting them harden in a combination of concrete and gravel to ensure maximum stability and room for drainage.
This will take some time, and if it’s the rainy season, you’ll need to wait it out, otherwise, it will be counterproductive. Regardless, under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t take more than 3 days for decent sized fence posts to be up and cured.
Day 7-12 — Assembling Fence Panels And Attaching The Fence Gates
Now, the decorative element of the fence installation comes into play after the posts are set in. The ornamental fence panels come pre-fabricated, but the beautiful fence gates require a fair bit of assembly of their own, adding to the overall timeline.
Once done, the two are set on the upright fence posts, and the entire process will take another 3 days, provided there are no other additions you want included.
Day 13-14 — Adding Those Final Touches
In the final stretch of the fence installation process, you should keep in mind a day or two extra to account for finishing touches and personalization. This can range from purely visual choices, like stones and hanging pots over hooks, to practical ones, like extra security from anti-climb rollers and barbed wire.
Furthermore, electrified fencing and automated gate access installation can prolong the timeline of your fence installation completion.
Afterward Maintenance
So, give or take 15 days is a safe bet, provided you completed the necessary pre-installation steps beforehand. However, you also need to be aware of the maintenance process, despite it not being directly tied to the installation of the fence. That’s because owning the fence is a responsibility and it’s a very time-consuming one, so you have to be mindful of it. You need to periodically check your fence for any signs of wear and tear, dullness, discoloration, or any cracks, then address them.
Your local fencing contractor can be reached out to perform this service for you, but keep in mind, repairs can take a lot of time, too. Almost as much, sometimes even longer than the time it takes for fence installation.
