  • How long can I expect my fence to last?

    Two factors are very important when it comes to the longevity of your fencing. The first is the type of material used. For a wood fence, cedar usually lasts for over 30 years. However, the norm is 15 to 18 years. Metal and vinyl fencing can last indefinitely.


    The second, equally important factor is the method of installation. Having your fence installed by a trained professional from Academy Fence Co will ensure maximum strength and durability.

  • What wood should I choose: cedar or spruce?

    Always keep in mind how long the fence will last. Because of its durability, cedar will actually cost you less in the long run.

  • How will temperature extremes affect my vinyl fence?

    Purchasing the correct type of vinyl fence is important. Your fence should be virgin vinyl with UV protection. This material has been tested for both weather and time.

  • Do I need to know my building codes and town regulations?

    Yes, each town has its own codes specifying fence height and location. Our trained staff can help you with the codes for your own part of New York.

  • What is the safest fence to put around my pool?

    First, check with your town or village for its codes. The safest fence is usually the one that is the most difficult to climb. Aluminum estate fencing usually provides our customers with the best combination of beauty and safety. We are always available to answer any questions you may have.

  • I've always had a problem with my gates. Can this be prevented?

    The most common problem we see with gates is poor installation of the gate post. Correct length and strength of the gate post with proper clearance will provide you with problem-free operation for years. We can assist you in choosing the proper size, weight, and method of installation for your needs.

  • Should my wood fence be stained?

    A cedar fence will last unfinished for years, but staining will help keep moisture off the surface and extend the life of your fence.

  • How do I maintain my vinyl fence?

    If dirt adheres to your fence, we recommend that you use gentle washing with a mild detergent. Using an abrasive cleaner can damage the surface of your fence.
