This is because repeated contact from scratching pets can cause extra stress on the edge and side of the door as well as the exterior wall which will shorten its lifespan. \r\rIt's also a good idea to add weather stripping around the pet door so air doesn't come through between the dog door and the glass when both the exterior door and pet door are closed.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you install a cat flap in a door?","text":"A cat door is a little different from a dog door.

The flaps on the pet doors should be fairly small and appropriate for your dog's size, especially for small dogs. \r\rMeasuring tape is one of the tools required when installing a pet door. Measure the full width of your glass door using a measuring tape, including the width of the window track if there is one and note it down. Then, take half an inch off of this measurement to ensure that the pet flaps aren't too big for your pet. \r\rAfter you measure your glass door and have the data before you, pick out a dog door that fits this size. Then, apply double-sided tape to the pet door and carefully stick it on your glass door.\r\rFreestanding pet doors can be easily moved from one sliding door to another and are very efficient, especially if you have multiple pets that require different flap sizes. \r\rIf you want a freestanding pet door that can be easily moved but isn't just a flap with magnets on the ends, there are some manufactured units available.

If you want to remove an old fence, then it is advised to hire fencing contractors. \r\rProfessional installation can be expensive, as it includes the labour cost differently, but it can also be a wise investment for your fencing work, as a poorly installed fence can quickly become an eyesore or even a safety hazard by going against the fencing regulations.\r\rThere are many factors to consider when choosing a fence, like the ease of installation, longevity, and the fencing costs per metre. \r\rBe sure to weigh all of your options before making a decision. A standard brick fence can last for many years, so it's worth taking the time to find an extremely durable one that meets your needs and budget.\r\rWhen installing a fence, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you need to determine the height and type of fence you want. \r\rYou also need to decide on the materials you want to use and whether you want to hire fence contractors to install your fence.\r\rThe installation, per metre cost, and overall budget of fencing will vary depending on your specific needs and the type of fencing materials you choose. \r\rFor example, woods have average costs less than metal or PVC, but it requires regular maintenance to keep them in good condition. \r\rThe cost of fencing per metre of softwoods is relatively inexpensive but is more susceptible to rot. Hardwood fences are more durable, but the fencing cost is also considerably more expensive than softwood fences.\r\rChoosing high-quality common fencing materials for your fence can help ensure its durability and longevity. You'll also need to factor in the installation cost when you're calculating expenses for your project. \r\rHowever, if you shop around and compare prices, you should be able to find a fence that meets your needs and budget with ease.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Table","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Type of fence and average cost per metre","text":null,"bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":[{"column1":"Type of fence","column2":"Average cost per metre"},{"column1":"Timber fence","column2":"$40 to $110"},{"column1":"Treated pine paling fence","column2":"$80 to $130"},{"column1":"Colorbond fence","column2":"$60 to $100"},{"column1":"Hardwood fencing","column2":"$80 to $130"},{"column1":"Treated pine slat fence","column2":"$200 to $300"},{"column1":"PVC fence","column2":"$20 to $150"}],"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":"2"},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":"The other types of fencing include a wrought iron fence, a brick fence, picket fences, etc. ","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is the cheapest type of fence to get?","text":"The cheapest type of fencing a person can get is wooden fencing.

White ant eats the wood from the inside out, causing damage to it. The most common example is when a homeowner inadvertently puts their vacuum through the wall due to rotting wood.\r\rThe smell of rotting wood is also a hint of white ants that many people are uninformed of. As a result, if you smell mould and are certain there isn't another odour source, contact pest control right away.\r\rIf a white ant nest is around, you may also see the presence of droppings (frass) around the areas they have inhabited.\r\rHave you discovered that a once-easy-to-open window has become difficult to operate?
