fencing panels
In article , A.Lee
writes Fence makers will make up any panel to size if you can wait a couple of weeks.The price will be the same as a 6' panel. An alternative to panels would be a feather edge board fence, though it would be more expensive, but more sturdy, and easily erected to any length. If you want the basic lapped panels, then a 6' std. panel is easily cut down to any size. Just prise off the centre upright,and the end upright pieces, refit them at the length you require, then cut down the panel, at the side of the upright to the required length. It takes me 10 minutes extra to cut a panel to size. Alan. Have a friend who is a carpenter, he could probably do that for me.

fencing panels
In article , Sacha
writes Perhaps you can arrange things so that the extra 3' is in the middle of the fencing No, sadly the garden is only 9 feet wide at the back so that's what we have to use. Not to worry! Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

fencing panels
In article , Uncle Marvo
writes The holes can be dug using a girlie (smaller) spade or a special spade for digging post holes which is the same thing but miles more expensive :-), Ha! Not in Aylesbury you can't. Much too many bits of bricks, flint and solid clay to dig a hole without a pick axe. Also roots of brambles to get out first as well -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Janet,
Best thing to do - put 4x4 inch timber or cement posts in either end of your gap. These need to be sunk 2ft into the earth and set in with a 3-1 ratio of ballast-cement. (this can involve some heavy breaking out of existing posts, if rotten). Otherwise use existing posts. Once posts are in, buy 3 x 9ft lengths of 'arris' rail (triangular fence beams) and 3 left and 3 right arris rail brackets and a bag of 4 inch nails. Nail brackets to posts at desired height of rails. Nail rails into brackets. to be continued!.... |
