What to expect

A dependable foundation for your fence.

Posts carry every wind load and keep the boundary straight. We set them to suitable depth, account for changes in level and use the correct bay spacing for the chosen panels or closeboard construction.

Concrete gravel boards lift timber away from damp soil and mowing damage. They add weight and cost, but often provide better long-term value on exposed or frequently wet boundaries.

How deep should fence posts be?+

Depth depends on fence height, soil and exposure. We determine this on site rather than using one depth for every boundary.

Can concrete posts be repaired?+

Small cosmetic marks may be harmless, but cracked or moving structural posts normally need replacement.

Will gravel boards stop timber rot?+

They prevent direct ground contact, which removes a major source of moisture exposure for panels and boards.
