It already knows your trade

Not a generic script with your name dropped in. It speaks the language.

linear feet

How fencing is measured and priced — the run length, not area.

post spacing

Usually six or eight feet. Closer spacing costs more and stands up better in wind.

setting posts

Concrete versus gravel. Concrete is standard but harder to replace later.

shadowbox

Boards alternating on both sides — looks the same from either side and lets wind through.

board on board

Overlapping pickets for full privacy with no gaps as the wood shrinks.

rails

The horizontal supports. Two-rail is standard, three-rail is stronger on taller fences.

setback

How far from the property line the town requires the fence to sit.

good neighbour

A fence finished so both sides look the same. Sometimes required by an HOA.
