fence

Recently moved. We are a detached house and have a side passage back to the previously built extension to the boundary. There was a free standing polycarbonate roof over this passage but no side wall/fence. Due to this you can just step around our gate and access the space, so it is totally un...

Hi we've taken down our shed that was in the corner of our garden and we wanted to add a bit of trellis to the existing fence as there's a car park at the back of us. Any ideas on how we can do this?

Hi there, Hope i've put this in the right category. I've just had some link removed western cedar slats put up in the corner of the garden. They have been nailed to a wooden frame. They have only been up a couple weeks and I have started noticing some black staining coming out of the...

Has anyone got any ideas how I can fix gravel boards to a fence when using fence post spikes. The gravel boards are 15 cm but so are the metal sleeves of the spikes into which the fence posts slot, leaving no bare wood to attach brackets or to drill in to. (n)

I am installing some new fence panels. The panels go between concrete post. Some of the posts ae leaning. Two reasons for the leaning as far as I can see, 1) foliage from tree etc.. leaning on the panels and posts 2) the back of the garden on the other side of the fence is waste land and the...

I had a fence put in our back garden with a pretty heavy gate, which has most/all of its weight supported by a single fence post. I just noticed the post is starting to split. Is there anything I can do to fix and/or better support this? I'm thinking it's not going to support the gate much...

I'm wanting to attach a fence to the wall that divides my and my neighbour's back garden as it is a low wall and I want privacy for my family. Do you know the law? If she says no then can we still do it? I don't know who owns it in the deeds but she is saying that she is the owner. Let me know...

I'd just like to pick your brains: I've got a flattop railing (attached photo) along a North Facing wall of my house. It provides absolutely no privacy and I can't really see a point to it beyond fall protection. This ordinarily wouldn't be an issue but we have a bay window facing out on to...

Hi all just a quick question for you. I'm a first time homeowner and I've noticed that the wooden items in my garden (fencing, shed, double gates in the driveway) look worn down and in a couple of places have a little bit of light green mossy stuff on. I know none of it has been treated for a...

Hello, I can't find any advice anywhere. I have new 1.8m wide fence panels to put in the back garden. The panels are exactly 1.8 meters wide but the gravel boards are 1.83. should I pack out panels to 1.83 or cut gravel boards down to 1.8? I am using durapost system so could easily cut down the...

Hello, I'm looking to fix my garden fence with my wall. I want to have sort of L/U shape anchor, to hold the fence from the top, with plate on left side which I can screw with wall. Here is the diagram. Hook by MikeHandyDIY posted 10 Jul 2021 at 12:24 PM I'm aware that I can achieve with an L...

So we just had a new garden fence installed, and the builders seem to think that it's fine to not attach the trellis to anything -- either to the fence beneath it or the concrete fence post. It's literally just balanced on top of the fence, with the ridges of the fence post stopping it from...

Hi all, Been looking on the forum a while so thanks to everybody who posts, I’ve been given some great ideas and advice. I now have a quick question. I’m just about to start a strip of fencing (14 bays) using concrete posts. The fence will be 6ft panels and 1ft gravel board. Coming off the...

My neighbors have put up very high fences but there are two issues, first is he put fence up several feet from his boundary and all the earth is falling into my garden and also he made one of the fence panels so he can literally come in and out of my garden when he pleases.He did this yesterday...

Hi, I want to add a fence panel to a concrete post, theres no slot in the direction I want to add it. Whays the easiest /best way to do that ? Are there some clips made for that ? I was thinking I can add a wooden post to it ? But I imagine the concrete is hard to drill into ? Any suggestions...

Hi, I'm wanting to replace two closeboard fence panels, however the concrete posts dont have the slots, so lifting out a panel and replacing it isnt an option. The current panels are 6ft, but the posts are slightly wider, so each panel has a 35mm wide batten attached. I can see where the...

Hi all, My house is on a corner plot and i have a piece of grass on my side garden which is wasted and not used. I currently have a 6ft fence around the side of the house which i would like to extend over the grass in my side garden so that it can be used as part of my private garden. I've...

Hi, I'm quite new to fencing and I'm looking for some advice on the best way to put a garden gate in this location. The raised bed on the right is making things a bit complicated and I want to know what would be the easiest and most durable solution. I'm going to have to secure a post to the...

Sorry if this is daft question but what are best screws to use on a treated timber fence? Are galvanised screws ok or should I use stainless. Some people recommend decking screws but these are too long for what I want. The fence will be left natural so I don't want rust streaks appearing down...

Hi guys I have 5 leaning or broken(at base) fence posts,there is nothing wrong with the panels(6ft) just the posts.ive had several quotes around £600 to £800 to get them fixed,I only need to get the posts straightened up and 2 which have broken at ground level...I'm thinking of putting support...
