You’ll need a fencing contractor for erecting fences around your home, pool or any other area you wish to cordon off. Depending on the purpose, you’ll need different types of fences

Wood panel garden fences are only as good as the quality of the timber and fasteners used. Many wood panel fences are made of low-coast, untreated timber and held together with nails. The lifespan will vary according to weather conditions. Contractors can provide alternative, longer-lasting options such as brushwood, hardwood, bamboo or preserved timber.

Painting or staining the timber panels will prolong the fence’s life – and add to visual appeal. Pouring concrete around the upright posts’ footing, or packing them with soil and broken bricks, will add to stability and longevity. Replacing nails with screws will also add to the fence’s lifespan. Ask the contractor to leave spare panels, for easy future repairs.
