• What’s the most affordable fence option?
  Chain link is typically the most affordable fence option per linear foot. For a balance of affordability, beauty, and durability, wood fencing is also very competitive in the St. Louis Missouri market.

No-Dig Installation

• What is no-dig fence installation?
  No-dig installation uses specialized equipment to drive PostMaster steel posts directly into the ground without digging holes or pouring concrete. The result is faster, cleaner, and significantly stronger than traditional fence installation.
• Is no-dig installation better than traditional methods?
  Yes! Our no-dig fences are up to 3X stronger than concrete-set fences, withstand 70+ MPH winds, install faster, and create zero mess in your yard. Snapper Fence is a certified No-Dig Pro installer.
