Fencing

Fencing materials are used to define boundaries, add privacy and secure outdoor spaces. Whether it’s for residential gardens or site perimeters, fencing systems are built using a combination of panels, posts and supporting components.

The products in this range cover the core elements needed to install fencing from the ground up, including timber panels, posts, gravel boards and fixing materials used during installation.

What Goes Into a Fencing Installation

Panels vs Closeboard

Lapped panels are typically used for standard garden fencing, while closeboard panels provide a stronger, more durable option where additional strength is needed.

Timber vs Concrete Posts

Timber posts are easier to work with and commonly used for standard installations. Concrete posts are more durable and often used where longevity is a priority.

Feather Edge Systems

Feather edge boards are used when building fencing from scratch, fixed to rails to create a continuous fence line rather than using pre-made panels.

Setting Posts Properly

Post mix is used to secure fence posts into the ground. Getting this right is what keeps the whole fence stable over time.

FAQ’s:

How deep should fence posts be set?

As a general rule, posts are set at around 600mm below ground level, but this can vary depending on fence height and ground conditions. Taller fences or softer ground may require deeper setting.

Do I need gravel boards for every fence?

Not always, but they’re strongly recommended. Gravel boards keep panels off the ground, which helps prevent rot and extends the life of the fence.

What’s the quickest way to install fence posts?

Post mix is commonly used for quicker installation. It sets faster than traditional concrete mixes, which helps keep the job moving, especially when installing multiple posts.

Can I mix timber and concrete posts in one fence run?

It’s possible, but not ideal. Mixing materials can lead to uneven movement and appearance over time. Most installations stick to either timber or concrete posts throughout.
