Garden fence

Post by Cution »

Last year sometime i had been wanting a new garden fence, my old one
had been growing moisture and mold on the side of it. So when i got all
the odds and bobs. I got the fence together and it was up perfectly,
so one night it was pretty windy and i heard alot of noise, so when i looked
out the window to see what was happening, i saw bits of my fence scatterd
in next doors and my garden. I was absolutely devastated.

That has happened to the best of us!

I now use concrete posts, insert the wooden panels and then use L shaped brackets to hold them in and stop them from banging in the wind :wink:

Were the posts just put into the ground or did you add concrete to them?

At least you don't put your fence panels in at 1.30 am like our crazy neighbour.

So with the fencing? Any concreting on the fence posts? I had a good stab at putting up some fencing, it was a lot of hard work, A LOT, but so far so good!

Like all good DIY'ers, I decided to write it up -
