What should fencing companies post on social media?

Approx healthy mix for fencing: before_after ~25%, asmr_satisfying ~20%, bts/day-in-the-life ~12%, humor_relatable ~10%, tip/faq_mythbust ~8%, storytime_emotional ~7%, social_proof ~5%, trend_participation ~5%, seasonal ~3% organic. Promotional (booking_nudge, promo with financing hook, announcement) ~5%. Total organic ~73%, promo ~27%.

What the research says about fencing companies social

Posting cadence for fencing companies

3-5 posts/week is the sustainable target for a fence crew; the job site supplies endless raw material so under-posting is the real failure. Best practice: film EVERY install (phone on a tripod or fence post) so one job yields a timelapse reel, a before/after carousel, a satisfying close-up clip, and a BTS story. Post installs same-week while the yard is fresh. Reels/timelapse 2-3x week, one humor/relatable bit weekly, one tip/educational weekly, periodic promo.

Best platforms for this trade

Instagram and TikTok are primary because fencing is intensely visual (timelapse installs, before/after). Facebook is the workhorse for local homeowner reach and neighborhood groups (this buyer skews homeowner/HOA, often 35+). YouTube Shorts repurposes the same vertical timelapse. Pinterest is a real secondary driver for 'fence ideas / backyard privacy' inspiration searches. Google Business Profile posts matter for the local-intent 'fence company near me' searcher. LinkedIn only matters for the builder/GC commercial-account track.

What NOT to post

Don'ts for fencing: (1) don't staple a 'free estimate / call now' CTA onto every post - a wall of CTAs kills organic reach; keep ~75% pure organic; (2) no stock or AI-perfect fence images - this trade rewards real, slightly-imperfect job-site footage and gets punished for looking fake; (3) don't publish prices in posts (category norm is hidden pricing -> free estimate is the funnel); (4) don't post a customer's home/yard without permission; (5) don't be discount-spammy on a $3k-$15k considered purchase - financing framing converts better than 'SALE'; (6) don't only post finished shots - the process (auger, string line, timelapse) is the watch-bait, not just the after photo.

Hooks that work

Hooks that earn the watch in fencing: 'Watch a {material} fence go up in 60 seconds', 'This {city} backyard went from THIS to THIS', 'The most satisfying part of fence day' (auger/string-line cold open), 'POV: the customer about the property line', 'Tell me you have a fence crew without telling me', 'Why does a privacy fence cost $X? (here is every board)', 'They thought we couldn't make it straight on a slope'. Lead with the payoff or the conflict in the first 1-2 seconds; the satisfying reveal or the punchline must be visible immediately, not held to the end.

Seasonal moments to plan for

Fencing is seasonal and weather-triggered. Spring/early-summer is peak demand (homeowners prepping yards, new pets, kids out of school) - lean before/after and booking-ahead. Pool season drives pool-fence/safety content (often code-required). Post-storm (wind/hurricane/snow-load) spikes repair/replacement demand - run damage-repair and 'leaning fence?' content right after local storms. Fall = 'install before the ground freezes / get on the spring list now' nudges. New-home and new-puppy/new-baby life events trigger year-round.

Formats that perform

Vertical 9:16 short-form is the native unit: sped-up timelapse of an install (empty yard to finished run), satisfying close-up clips (auger, string line, snapping pickets, the spacer gap), and before/after carousels. Captions-on / text overlay is expected since most watch muted. REAL job-site footage only - recognizable regional landscaping and the actual crew read as authentic; AI-perfect or stock fence images read fake and underperform in this trade. Carousels work for material-comparison tips and multi-photo project stories.
