Do I need to be home during installation?＋

How long will my fence installation take?＋
The timeline depends on the fence, materials, permits, season, and weather. Ekren’s website notes that many installations take two to three working days, which may be non-consecutive to allow concrete to cure. Ask us for timing specific to your project.
