#1
Hardware Cloth
4.0
(4)
"Consider hardware cloth, like 1/2 inch mesh, you can do chain link with chicken wire or hardware cloth over it."
"Hardware cloth."
"Metal, hardware cloth is thicker, smaller holes, and safer against most predators."
"Most people here recommend hardware cloth because in addition to being strong, the spaces are very small meaning a predator can't reach inside."
#2
Cook Fence
5.0
(3)
"Cook. End of story."
"One benefit of Cook if you do not have a flat yard they contract with a shop and for a small additional fee (it was only like $200 for us), they have a custom gate made for your yard slope so your dog can't sneak under it."
"We have used Cook Fence for our last two homes and they were phenomenal and were substantially cheaper than the others."
#3
Life Time Fence
5.0
(3)
"We were very happy with Life Time Fence and pleasantly surprised at the estimate/cost."
"Another recommendation for Life Time Fence. We'd gotten a quote from All Iowa Fence based on a recommendation, and Life Time came in much better."
"We used Life Time Fence out of Palo for a small project last fall. They were recommended by people we knew. I thought they wear great."
#4
J & M
4.7
(3)
"Friendly, fast, best priced, good after-service, clean up completely."
"They showed up on time for the quote, the build and knocked it out super fast."
"Prices also seemed very reasonable."
#5
Absolute Fencing
4.0
(3)
"Absolute has some new and affordable FIE stretch gear that I’ve seen on a lot of fencers as of late. We got my son a full set. He loves it! Lightweight and nice stretch. The full set was less than most big name FIE jackets alone."
"Absolute fencing has good uniforms and even have options for extra padding."
"If your in America absolute fencing is good, just spend a little more for the stretch gear, it’s way better than the cotton stuff your probably used to borrowing from your club."
#6
Forrest Fence
5.0
(2)
"Third Forrest Fence. They were fantastic."
"Second Forrest fence. They're really great to work with."
#7
Carter Fence
5.0
(2)
"It went great. Very reasonable as well with pricing."
"Just had Carter Fence install a 4" & 6" wooden fence and it went great."
#8
Huber
5.0
(2)
"Huber 100%"
"I used Huber fencing after a big storm took out my privacy fence and gate in 2023. They did an amazing job and I felt the price was reasonable for the quality."
#9
K&C
5.0
(2)
"K&C did a great job for me."
"I recommend K&C because I got a good fence, but walked it foot by foot, noting any issues."
#10
Lowe's
3.0
(3)
"DIY is always going to be your cheapest option. Pretty easy to do we got the ones from Lowe’s."
"I couldn't get a fence company to take such a small job, I had Lowes do the job. It was pretty easy, you can get financing."
"Do not go with lowes under any circumstance."
#11
AF Elite
4.5
(2)
"AF Elite stretch is so comfy! It even washes well and doesn’t hold stains. Really great."
"I just recently bought a stretch jacket and it is 100% worth it. I am also a larger guy (waist large, not tall) and it is comfortable."
#12
Leon Paul
4.5
(2)
"Second for Leon Paul. Possibly the best stuff you can buy. If your worried about padding get a chest protector and they also do a shin guard as well for epee."
"Skip the cheaper stuff and try Leon Paul."
#13
Commonwealth Fencing
4.5
(2)
"I highly recommend Commonwealth Fence. They finished off our fence including a double-wide gate when we bought our house in 2021."
"Commonwealth Fencing"
#14
Épée
4.0
(2)
"I think epee would be for you since you are newer, I believe in epee there is no right of way and you can hit them almost anywhere on their body."
"I would recommend epee tho i havent tried foil myself but it is less structured so you would propably like that"
#15
All Star Fence
4.0
(2)
"All Star fence. Very reasonable and professional"
"They're good."
#16
Bravo Fence
4.0
(2)
"Bravo Fence."
"Cheapest reasonable price and did good work quickly."
#17
Parr
4.0
(2)
"Parr is good if you're doing continual business with them, but their sticker prices are a bit thick."
"Check with local lumber yards, especially parr up in north pasco, used to work there and it’s a great company."
#18
Woven Wire
4.0
(2)
"4 foot woven wire is expensive but the most effective."
"Do the woven wire. I use both the woven wire and a strand of electric on the outside bottom to deter the diggers."
#19
PBT
4.0
(2)
"Pbt have three lines of 800N kit. The superlight is great but if you want padding I would steer toward the others. The stretchfit is reasonably padded, the Balaton has no stretch but the material is quite stiff and solid and so is reasonably good on the protectiveness end."
"I like pbt silverstar boots because of the ankle support."
#20
ASICS
4.0
(2)
"I've found the asics gel challenger 14 padel shoes very very good as a cheaper replacement for Azzas."
