Fence Installation & Repair services in Shaler
Water shapes fence work in Shaler Township more than in most places we serve. Pine Creek and Girty's Run have flooded low parts of Glenshaw and the valley roads more than once, and a solid fence across a flood path acts like a dam until it gives way. In those yards we suggest open styles such as chain link or aluminum picket, and we ask the township about floodplain limits first. Away from the creeks the township climbs fast. Houses in Bauerstown, Undercliff and Elfinwild sit on steep streets with terraced back yards held by block or timber walls. A post set too near the back of a wall pushes on it, so we keep our distance or use the wall's own structure only when it was built for that. Most houses date from the 1920s through the 1960s, and many still have the original chain link waiting to be replaced.
