fence panel problem needs solving

[thegoat10]

hi,

i'm replacing some 6 x 4 waneylap fencing and one of the panels wont be able to slot into the space down inbetween the concrete posts. this is due to an overhang from a carport near the edge. so i'm a bit stuck as to how to get the panel into place.

any ideas anyone?

With enough muscle, you may be able to flex it into position.

Or dismantle it and rebuild it in place.

thanks for the reply.

forgot to mention there's a iron post on each side near the end of the fence as well so it's difficult to manouvre.

there may just be enough room if i took the edge off one side, but not sure, then put it back on once in place.

Good day to all, A solution for Replacing 6ft x 6ft fence panels @ approx 17kg up to 33kg and gravel boards @ 49kg.

How many people have struggled to replace the above panels and gravel boards.

The problem is getting the height to slot the panel or gravel board in, you need approx 6ft 6'' up to 7ft to ensure an easy fit

The solution is ! an ITEM that enables one person either Male or Female to lift from ground level minimizing manual handling to a safe controllable level, the Item can be erected in less than 2 mins and very easy to use, and operates in 10 to 15mph winds, the ITEM can be used on un even ground, where bushes hamper access, it even operates in most places where trees block access. One handed operation to lift the panel or gravel board and the other hand to guide the panel or gravel board into the slots on the posts you can operate the ITEM and get the height of up to 8ft which is sufficient in 99.9% of gardens, it will not operate where two conservatories are very close together.

The ITEM enables you to lift the panels or gravel boards from your side of the fence should you have unco-operative neighbours, the ITEM will lift up to 75kg but certified to 150kg.

Wouldn't life be a little easier if we all had one of these ITEMS.

Many thanks all ( Uk Inventor )

Nobody I know of unless they have no mates whatsoever

Hi Belboz

Would an ITEM that can do this be a good help if you worked alone and reduced manual handling injury, trapped fingers or even damage to the panel or property should it be dropped because the panel is either taken by the wind or difficult to balance once its up in the air.

I presume from your posts that you have come up with an invention to solve this issue.

Good for you but FWIW, I don't see a viable market for the device. Yes you may sell the odd few to DIYers or handymen who work alone but, in my experience, fencing is always done by more than one person - whether that be setting posts, fixing arris or setting panels.

There won't be many people who would take on a task such as fencing without having someone to help hence why I suggest that the market for such a product would be limited.

That being said, that's MY opinion. Others on here may give a different view.
