Fencing

Gardening prices for fencing

Fencing, in a household garden is typically all wooden in construction but may have concrete posts. The posts can be concreted in place to provide better support in excessive winds. This is advisable especially as you can use dry mix to provide the base instead of wet cement. The fence panels themselves can either slot into the fence post sides (if they have grooves - this is usually the case for concrete fence posts) or fix the centre, front or back of the post using screws or nails. The fence should be pre-treated to stop it rotting in wet ground and fence caps should be placed on top again to stop standing water rotting the fence posts. Ideally the fence should be painted with protective coating every year or so.
