I'm about to extend my backyard wood privacy fence. The fence now stops at
the back of the house. I want to extend it 20 feet going towards the

Since there is no old fence on the 20 feet of yard I'll be working on, I
need to make sure where the property line is. I have the diagram from the
1993 survey which says there are iron rods in place.

Do you think I'm safe to just find the rod myself and pull a string tight
between it and the last post on the old fence?

Or should I pay for a survey? I've heard that you can get a survey a little
cheaper by calling the original survey company and just have them do an
update.


Hi,
If you can find 4 rods at 4 corner of the lot with metal detector or
digging around, that's it. You already have a drawing to guesstimate
where the spots are.
Good luck,
