Good points about fencing, but honestly, sometimes holding off a bit can make sense too. When we bought our land, we waited a year before investing in permanent fencing. Glad we did—plans changed, and the layout we initially had in mind wouldn't have worked at all. Sometimes flexibility early on can save you from costly revisions later... just something to consider.
Waiting a bit before committing to fencing does seem sensible, but do you think there's a risk of running into boundary disputes or security issues in the meantime? I've seen cases where delaying fencing led to headaches later on. Still, your point about flexibility is solid—plans almost always shift once you're actually on the ground. Maybe there's a sweet spot between waiting too long and jumping in too soon... Glad it worked out for you though.
Yeah, delaying fencing can definitely lead to headaches—had a neighbor once who casually started mowing into my property because there was no clear boundary. Took ages to sort out. Still, rushing into fencing before you're sure about layout can be pricey if plans change later... tricky balance for sure.
That's a good point—it's definitely a balancing act. I've seen neighbors get into disputes over informal boundaries, too. One neighbor planted some trees thinking he knew the line, only to find out later he'd encroached by several feet... expensive mistake. Makes me wonder, has anyone had luck using temporary markers or stakes to avoid confusion without committing to a permanent fence right away? Seems like a decent compromise until you're ready to build.
Temporary stakes can help, but they're still pretty informal and can shift or get removed accidentally. Maybe combining stakes with clear photos or even a quick drone video could help document boundaries better until you're ready to build? Has anyone tried something like that?
