fence

Hello, I want to extend the height of my fence with a privacy trellis, but I’m not sure what is the best way to go about it. I want to extend 5 of my fence panels, each of them measuring currently 114cm x 183cm. I’d like to add a trellis on top of each panel, ideally measuring at least 60cm...

So our garden fence basically failed several months back when there were quite strong winds. The fence would be replaced with concrete posts instead of current timber ones. There is already a concrete post with a slot we can use at the end of the garden (facing direction of our fence), assuming...

Half of our fence nearly toppled over during the last strong winds few months back/last year. The section which just has timber posts and little to no support so will be torn down and redone properly with concrete posts etc. However the front section half already has concrete posts and bricks so...

I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this question and feel a bit silly asking it but just want to make sure as I’m new to all of this! There is a fence that doesn’t run into our garden at all but our neighbour on the other side is asking us to fix it as it is broken and affecting her getting...

Hi there, I'm new here and struggling a bit with whether we require planning permission or not. Essentially we have a "front garden" (which really is at the side of our house), which is completely pointless and unusable and nothing more than a wasteland for weeds and rotten crab apples. So we...

Hi I’m wondering if anyone can help with advice re this fencing - pictures and detail below. My self and my neighbour are paying a fortune for this fence to be erected by a reputably professional fencing company. Am I overreacting or do you think gravel board should be fixed? Thanks so much

Hi all, looking for some advice We had this fence installed on top of patio tiles. As it’s directly in contact with the patio when it rains the slats get damp at the bottom. Pic attached Im worried they will rot. So would you advise trimming the bottom centimetre or so off each one? (They are...

Hi noticed when fixing trellis to our fence that one part the top rail has started to rot. Anyone know if its repairable ive some 2 part rinseal wood filler spare or would it be best to cut another piece? Trouble with that is I'd have to ask the neighbour as it would need nailing in there side.

I’m looking to get the blown down and badly fitted fence fixed. The front fence sits on a house brick wall that boarders a stream but the posts don’t go down very far (one fell over and the other is thinking about it). I spoke to one guy who said he’d have to bring the fence forward in front of...

I'm looking to construct a lean-to-wall pergola and plan to use 100 x 100 mm wooden posts. However, I can only find fence posts. Can these fence posts be used as load-bearing elements? They will be placed on height-adjustable shoes and will have no direct contact with soil or water. Thanks...

Hi all, I share a boundary fence on my front drive with a neighbour, the fence was built by the previous owner of my property and I’ve been maintaining it but it has rotted beyond repair. I intend to replace it at my own expense as I know my neighbour will not contribute anything towards it ...

Hi all, I’m in a bit of a pickle with the council as I’ve had a planning enforcement letter come through about a raised deck I had installed a few years ago. I believe the deck structure itself would get a permitted development certificate due to the fact that it’s on a slope and at the grounds...

my fence is on top of a sleeper retaining wall and the sleepers aren’t even heights. The gravel boards havent been fitted right and they’ve gradually got crushed and popped out from under the fence, which is distorting the fence in places. What will happen if I remove them? Not sure if theyre...

Hi.... I have just built a short length of new fencing to my boundary and want to paint the face that will be on the neighbours side. I would like to paint it so that it looks decent from their side. There is nobody living there at the moment as it was rented out but the house is now being...

Hi, I've bought some Eurpoean green oak timber and am now thinking about the best way to fix the crossbeams (2) to the 150 x 150mm posts (1). The decorative rafters (3) on top will also need fixing. I know normal screws/bolts will rust so I should use stainless steel. Given the assembly I...

Hi, I have moved into a new build property and the existing fence isn't that high and its style does not give much privacy. The image below shows the fence style/height. I was just going to purchase longer planks and just screw them onto the fence, similar to my badly drawn shapes as...

Hi I'm looking for the best way to attach trellis to the existing fence. I've done a little search but most vids just show what to do with the fence posts being higher.

We bought this house last year, there's this planter over the wall between us and the neighbours. Previously they kept wildflowers etc but as you can see it's been neglected. All we want is something for a little privacy for our outdoor space (once it's finished) to chill with a beer on a...

I'm going to build a triangular 3.5m x 3.5m gazebo with pressure treated 100x100 fence posts. I've considering concreting the posts directly into the ground, but the way I've designed it I will need to construct the frame before fixing it into the ground. Therefore I'm looking at some supports...

I bought feather edge fence panels, didn't realise it's contractor's pack, side frames are missing. I'm not sure what is it called. Can anyone let me know what are these side frames called and where can I buy them? Please see attached image. The attached image is not my fence, it's only for...
