We love dining out doors and relish every opportunity to spend time in our garden. That’s why its important to ensure that our garden is clean and tidy and well kept and that we have privacy too.
A home’s boundaries are an important thing to have to separate your space from yourneighbours, as well as creating a strong sense of security. While a hedge seems attractiveand a good solution, they can take up to several years to grow. A stone wall can also be agood choice to surround your home, although it can become quite costly. Fence posts tendto be the go-to solution as they can be found at affordable prices and installed in a matter ofdays. Here are some tips on how to install a garden fence.
1. The first thing to scan the area that you’d like to install the fence in. Check foranything that could be damaged whilst installing and figure out if you’ll need toaccess someone else’s property to get the job done. There is no right or wrong timeto do it but avoiding very hot, cold or wet conditions are best.
2. Figure out the materials you may need to get the fence up securely. These could befrom tape measures, screws, drills, hammers, fence panels to even cement mix. Do agood amount of research so you can get the work done quick.
3. Remove any rocks, plants or debris from the area you’re going to be installing thefence in to ensure it sits well in the ground. Mark down an area with string to ensureyour fence is straight and not wonky which won’t be pleasant to the eye.
4. Dig holes deep enough to hold your fence up strong and follow that by marking outpositions and creating holes for the remaining fences.
5. Consider a gravel board to allow water to flow away instead of being soaked up bythe wood before lowering your fence into place. You may need assistance for thispart.
6. Secure your fence well and consider applying a protective paint to the fence toensure it stays in better condition for a longer period of time.
