Fencing is an essential requirement for marking and securing your property. A question that arises about fencing is when it is time for replacement. Installing a new fence is generally a more expensive option when compared with repairing an existing fence. But it is not always possible to repair a fence due to a number of reasons.
We will present here important facts about fences and their effects which are essential in judging if it is better to install a new fence or repair the existing one.
Building Materials
Fences are created from construction materials. They play an important part in deciding the overall costs of a fencing project. A fence may be prepared from wood, aluminum or wrought iron. It is usually prepared from posts and planks

On the other hand, a repair project may require just a few hours or it may take over a week if there is a shortage of parts or lots of work is required to remove the faulty parts for replacement with new parts. A repair work also requires final finishing ensuring that the repair area does not look as a horrible job and blends well with the existing fence construction.
Landscaping Costs
Landscaping is essential for a fencing project and you cannot just leave the fence to look like an isolated figure. You may require the placement of rocks or other stuff. A new project allows you to entirely change your landscaping structure as well but with the repair of an existing fence construction you have to be sure to repair the disturbed landscape as well.
The installation of a new fence can be tricky on a property that has a severe slope. When installing a new fence, you can either select a terrain hugging design or build a stepped fence that requires land preparation. This will add to the existing costs of the project.
On the other hand, repairing of an existing fence also needs to take these problems into account and the costs increase a great deal when it has to be done on severe slopes or in other troublesome areas. All of these totals need to be taken in account in the final decision.
Claimed land boundaries could only be distinguished from open range by the people that owned the claimed land for quite a while. This would obviously become controversial when one person claimed that they owned this land for so many years, and then another settler decides that they claimed the land first. The invention of barbed wire helped to end the disputes over land by defining claimed land boundaries with fences topped with the sharp, twisted wire. While the invention of fencing brought an end to the idea of an open range for cattle drivers and the romanticized cowboys of the West, it also helped farmers and ranchers define the area of their land. Before the invention of barbed wire, people were forced to use shrubs and other types of plants that could define their land—with the lack of trees on the open plains, it was hard to find raw material to create an actual fence to claim their land.

My first reason why it was not worth the costs is the wall actually did not keep people out. It was not very protective. The wall affected so many things. It affected life styles, people's daily routine. It also affected families.
My negotiation style questionnaire indicated that my negotiation style was collaborating and accommodating. In addition, I will not avoid negotiation. I felt the result was reasonable because I like negotiation and have never avoided negotiation when I have a chance. I always try to enlarge the size of the pie to be negotiated. However, the class taught me I sometimes accommodated too much and missed a chance to create value in the end. One of the reasons is that I am afraid of getting nothing and overly cautious. This leads me to compromise before maximizing the pie. I believe I can take more risks to create value.
, ‘My apples will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, and I tell him. He only says, good fences make good neighbours.’ This shows that there is clearly no substantial reason for the wall to be built but one neighbour carries the view that ‘good neighbours make good fences’ and no
...ther people build fences to keep people in" (Wilson, 61). Troy Maxson built them to isolate himself and to keep out the people he loved the most.
In both Trifles and Fences, the relationship between genders plays a large part of the story and in both plays women are not created equal to their spouses. In comparing both plays, the women are tradtionally forced to stay home and do all the housing chores, while the men went to work and socialized with friends while at work. This idea of women staying at home portrays the control that society has over women and makes women unfree and confined to only their homes. In the play "Trifles" the wife, Mrs. Wright seems to have had a interesting life, singing for a chouir during her youth. However, when she marries Mr. Wright, she no longer sings for the chouir and starts lossing herself within her marriage and is unhappy. In the play "Fences,"
As you may know, literal fences are used to keep certain things in or out. Throughout the play, there is only one literal fence. Troy Maxson, who is the main character in Fences, started to build a wooden fence to surround his house because his wife Rose told him to. Troy puts off the fence and takes forever to finish building it. In the play, Rose says, “ Where are you going off to? You been running out of here every Saturday for weeks. I thought you was going to work on this fence” (1164,line 219). He keeps putting off the fence because he doesn’t want to deal with it.
In chapter 8 of the book, Wilding in America, we discussed in the classroom about the global warming changes in United States, wilding against humanity, and political campaign against our environment. These are the most fundamental points being discussed in the presentation of wilding against the environment. The problem about global warming is that we the people are the cause of global warming changing. For instance, United States burn more oil, coal, and other fossil fuels that pours out catastrophic level of greenhouse creating a perfect storm. We often say that big companies are the reason why are climate changes but we are also part of the effects on global warming because of the American Dream. James Hansen, Columbian professor

As I’ve mentioned, everybody has some type of fence, and I’m not exempt. What I would imagine
The best wall systems are highly resistant to water, wind, mechanical damage, and vermin entry. They are reasonably priced, easy to install, and low maintenance, have great cosmetic appeal, and provide good security. They also provide thermal insulation and have a long life expectancy. Most sidings do only some of these things well. There are no perfect siding materials.
In Thinking Like a Mountain, the author, Aldo Leopold, writes of the importance of wildlife preservation through examples of the symbiotic relationship of animals and plant-life with a mountain. He asks the reader to perceive the processes of a mountainous environment in an unusual way. Aldo Leopold wants the reader to "think" like a mountain instead of thinking of only the immediate, or as the hunter did. Taking away one feature of an ecosystem may eventually destroy everything else that that environment is composed of. Nature and wildness is essential for the well being of life on this earth.
Method I made a list of possible different shapes to be investigated and assigned measurements to the sides of the shapes making sure that they fit in within the perimeter of 1000 metres of fencing. I then worked out the areas of each shape using known mathematical formulae and techniques such as Pythagoras' theorem to calculate the sides of right angled triangles; using trigonometrical functions (sine, tangent and cosine) to calculate either angles or sides of triangles constructed. Sometimes there are no known exact formulae for working out the area of certain shapes such as octagon and more complex polygons. In such cases, given shapes are split into shapes that have known formulae for areas and the worked out the areas are added together.
On a section of the Arizona-Mexican border fence, the American government failed to plan for heavy rainfall so during a particularly heavy rainstorm, the fence blocked any water from flowing into the U.S. and kept it all on the Mexican side, creating 20 feet of water with nowhere to go and causing enormous amounts of damage and even two deaths by drowning (HBO). The border fence not only damaged the environment and hurt animals, it also caused two people to suffer painful deaths. An exponentially bigger border wall would only yield exponential pain and
