Selecting the Correct Materials
Selecting materials is an important part of any fence-building project. If you have a wooden fence, you’ll need fence posts and staket boards, while if you are erecting a metal or wire fence, some form of the gate will be required. Whatever type of fencing material you choose, our range includes everything needed to get started. We also offer pre-made panels that allow you to create fences without having to use tools at all. All you need is a hammer! For more information on how we can help with your DIY fencing needs, visit our website today.
Planning Your Project
Planning is essential for a successful fence. If your garden slopes, or is uneven, you will need to create additional support posts. Our fence boards are available in standard sizes so you can measure up and simply cut each section of wood as needed. We also have special products like our gravel boards which are great if you have a slightly uneven surface. They help support your fence and provide drainage so that water doesn’t sit on top of any one part of your fencing, causing rotting and warping over time.
Installing the Posts
Laying fence posts can be hard work, but if you want a sturdy fence that will stand up to weathering and keep your animals in or out, it’s worth the effort. Space posts every four feet on sloping land and three feet on flat land; dig them into the solid ground with a post-hole digger or by hand. Drive treated wood stakes into each hole as temporary supports until you attach your fence board.
Building Your Unique Frame
Selecting Materials: For building your unique billigt staket, you’ll need to select a material. Our comprehensive range of fence board and timber products, including pressure-treated pine, make ideal materials for building your own garden fence. As well as being visually pleasing, these hardwoods provide excellent durability and ensure that your fence will stand up to all weather conditions.
Finishing Touches
While we’re sure your fence won’t need much of an extra layer of protection, it is important to pay attention to its finish. By giving it a final coat of paint, you can protect it from any weathering and give it a clean, neat look. Take care when choosing your paint – make sure you choose something that will last a long time and will stand up against any weather conditions.
