How long does it take to install a new fence?
On average, it takes our skilled crew about 2-3 days to complete a fence installation. This ultimately depends on the size and material of the fence.
Do you use subcontractors?
No! At Cool Cat Fence, we boast a fully in-house team of office administrators, sales representatives, and contractors. This unique benefit allows us to streamline our operations, and it also gives you the peace of mind of knowing exactly who you’re working with at every step of the process.

How quickly can you start my project after I sign the proposal?
If there aren’t any landscaping delays to consider, we can typically start the project around 2 weeks after you’ve signed your proposal. This timeline can fluctuate depending on our installation schedules, but you can generally anticipate the process to be quick.
What styles of cedar fences do you offer?
We offer horizontal, full panel, modified full panel, and rambler style fences.
What add-on options do you offer?
We offer anti-dig options for homeowners with dogs who like to dig! Additionally, we can install gate arbors, stainless steel turnbuckles, board-on-board options, and clear cedar.
What is cedar post on pipe, and why is it recommended in the PNW?
Since the Pacific Northwest has such a rainy climate, cedar posts that are drilled directly into the soil can absorb water and start to rot. Securing the fence post on a steel pipe allows the post to sit 2-3 inches above the ground while the steel pipe goes 2 feet deep into the ground and is concreted in. Cedar post on pipe is a fantastic solution that doubles the life of your fence.
What warranties do you offer?
Our installations are covered with a standard 36-month warranty. Beyond that, cedar post on pipe and chain link fabric are covered by a 10-year warranty, and we offer a 1-year material warranty for regular pressure-treated posts and non-post on pipe posts.
Are hog wire fences attractive for urban homes?
Yes! Even though hog wire fences originated for farm use, our modern designs look fantastic and are becoming very popular among city dwellers. The sturdy wire panels are surrounded by attractive cedar wood on all four sides. They’re also great for gardens and woodsy areas.
Can I get an estimate online?
You can get an instant online estimate with our estimator tool. For an official estimate based on your specific project, reach out to us to schedule an on-site appointment.
Is ornamental iron less expensive than wrought iron?
Yes! Ornamental iron is the new standard for modern-day fences that resemble wrought iron. Ornamental iron is more affordable than wrought iron, and it also has fewer maintenance requirements.
What colors of chain link fences are available?
While we offer standard galvanized chain link fences, this isn’t always the most desirable for homeowners. So, you can get your chain link fence coated with vinyl that comes in black, green, or brown.
What are vinyl fences made from?
Vinyl fences are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is a popular non-toxic plastic material that has many uses, including windows! PVC is very strong, sleek, and low-maintenance. You won’t have any risk of wood rot or rust, and you don’t even have to paint it.
What are the benefits of steel metal panel fences?
Steel metal panel fences are impressively durable and have a longer lifespan of 10+ years. They offer fantastic privacy and security while still looking aesthetically pleasing.
How does a horizontal fence differ from other fences?
The defining difference is that horizontal fences have boards that run horizontally, while standard fence designs have vertical boards. This offers a distinctive, unique look. Our horizontal-style fences are available in cedar.
