Fence Connection, Inc.

Commercial gate.

Is your fence really holding up—or just pretending to?

Here’s how to check:

🔹 Tap on boards—hear hollow? Softer than normal? That’s rot.
🔹 Shake each post—wobbly means trouble.
🔹 Inspect latches and screws—rust never rests.

Why it matters: A weak fence won’t survive another Chicago rainy storm—and replacements cost way more than repairs.

Here are a few things to check before installing a new fence:

✔️ Property lines – Get them surveyed if needed!
✔️ Local rules – Some cities have height & material restrictions.
✔️ Utility lines – Always call before you dig.

A little prep work = fewer surprises later.

Thinking about installing a new fence but torn between vinyl and metal? We get asked this a lot, and to be honest, it's a hard choice.

🤷 You've got vinyl fences for better privacy and lesser maintenance but are also less secure. Then there's metal which offers the best security and durability but sacrifices privacy.

🏠 At the end of the day, a better question to ask is, "what are you willing trade up?"

Are you willing to have less privacy for the best security? Or the best privacy for less privacy?
