If you would like to attempt to remove the fence from your property yourself, there are several steps you should take before beginning the project. First and foremost, you should make certain that you own the fence and you are legally allowed to remove it. Even if you were informed by the previous owners of the property that you own the fence, unless you possess the official land survey documents for the property, it is possible that some of all of your fence may lie on a section of your neighbor’s property. Another option would be to talk with your neighbor and get his approval to remove or replace the fence. If the fence is in bad shape, then it is causing blight issues to your neighbor's property and most likely they will have no issues with you replacing it.
The majority of home improvement and repair projects will require a permit from the town or city that you reside it in order to be certain that your project is up to the proper ordinance and building code. The last thing you want to do is to start a project and then realize that you must change your plans because you are violating your town's building regulations. You should contact a Connecticut state official to explain your permit options with your local city hall before you begin work on your fence installation or repair project. It is important to get these permits so town inspectors can verify the work was done correctly in order to protect you, your family, and your guests from structural failure. In addition, if you are found working without the required permit, you will be fined and required to purchase a permit at a much higher price than the original cost.
It is also a good idea to contact your local utility company before you begin digging holes for your fence postings. For your fence posts, you should dig a post hole so diameter of the hole is 3 times the width of the post (the hole for a 4” wood post should be about 12 inches wide). The depth of the hole should be 1/3-1/2 the post height above ground (a 6-foot tall fence would require a hole depth of at least 2 feet). Your previous fence posts may have been installed before additional installations were made by utility companies and you will need to be aware of any piping or electrical wiring that may impede your construction.
The success of your fence installation or repair project, will depend on taking the proper precautions and having a well-thought out plan of construction. Once you have obtained the necessary permits so that you are within the legal parameters, and have contacted your local utilities company to ensure you will not be disrupting any wiring or piping from gas, electrical, cable or phone services, you will then need to be certain hat you have the proper tools and knowledge to complete the project.
