'No dig' fence issues?

[rob2015]

Hi all,

I'm a complete novice to this kind of thing so any advice grateful.

I've purchased and installed a metal 'no dig' fence in my garden along a gravel path, Followed all instructions but it's really unsteady. It didn't come with any post spikes , just rods that you hammer into the ground. Does anyone have any ideas how to make it more secure - the only options I've come up with so far is trying to drive the bottoms of the fence into ground buying some landscaping pegs and hooking them along the base of the fence or using gravel glue to secure the gravel to give extra support. I can add photos tomorrow. Thanks.

Is the fence temporary?
I've seen the ones with spikes and you hammer in but it's not going to be very secure especially in wet ground.

The idea was for it to be permanent. It doesn't need to be super strong but I'd like it a bit more sturdy if possible

Sorry, I cannot see how hammering a fence down by an inch or two will make it stable in soil- sorry, I guess you didn't want to read that.

I hope you have an opportunity to leave negative feedback.

I get where you're coming from. Thanks for your honesty

So you bang a metal stake in the ground between each (70cm) panel and the stake goes in about 20cm, linking the panels together. Yep that's never gonna be really rigid. That said if it's purely cosmetic and there were a few returns it would probably stay upright. But you could never lean on it or even touch it really. If you wanted to make it more rigid you could make some small holes (think big pringles tube size) and sink some postcrete in there. But it's never gonna be very rigid and you could probably easily pull them out.

I mean it is purely cosmetic and as a barrier for my (small) dog. The postcrete is a decent idea. Thanks
