Should my fence touch the ground?
Not necessarily. Leaving a small, intentional gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground can help prevent wood from sitting in moisture, allow for drainage, and accommodate changes in the terrain.
The right clearance depends on your property, fence style, and how the space will be used.
A well-built fence isn’t just about what you see. The small installation details can make a big difference over time.
