Here at eDecks, we&#8217;re huge fans of saving money and doing things yourself, which is why we put together this list of top tips to make sure you get a fence that looks like it was installed by a pro and that you don\u2019t end up running into any costly mistakes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Check if you need planning permission<\/h2>\n<p>First things first; before doing any work you need to check that you have the right permissions to build the fence you want. <strong>In the UK there are rules for fencing on your property<\/strong> \u2013 for example, if you\u2019re planning on putting your fence next to a highway or a footpath, you can only have a fence up to a maximum of one metre in height without planning permission. If your fence <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> next to a footpath or highway, you can have a fence up to two metres high without planning permission.<\/p>\n<p>You can find out more information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doineedplanningpermission.co.uk\/for\/fence-wall-gate\">right here,<\/a> so don\u2019t panic. If you have any concerns, or you\u2019d like to build a bigger fence, you can always contact your local planning office with any queries before you start work.<\/p>\n<h2>Check your property boundaries<\/h2>\n<p>A big mistake, and stressful nightmare, is finding out that you\u2019ve built your fence on your neighbours land. Not only will it cause a great strain on your relationship with the neighbours, but it can also mean installing your fence twice AND paying for any repairs needed on your neighbours land.<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t take too long to ensure you don\u2019t make this mistake, however. Simply check your property title deeds to find your boundaries. If you want to go the extra mile, it&#8217;s also a good idea to pop over to your neighbours and let them know of your plans as a courtesy.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have your property title deeds on hand, you can also <strong>perform a quick check <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eservices.landregistry.gov.uk\/www\/wps\/portal\/!ut\/p\/b1\/04_Sj9CPykssy0xPLMnMz0vMAfGjzOKNjSxMDA1NjDwsjM3MDTxN3dyNDUNMjQ1MjPWDU_P0C7IdFQG9k5Tz\"><strong>online here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Too many posts is better than not enough<\/h2>\n<p>Another mistake DIY fence builders make is spacing out their posts too far. A good rule of thumb is to <strong>never place your posts more than 8 feet apart<\/strong>. The reason you don\u2019t want your posts too spaced out is simply for support \u2013 having a fence too widely spaced out can make it vulnerable to the elements and more likely to blow over in strong winds.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid the cost of reinstalling a blown over fence (and any damage it might make to your property during a storm!) and ensure you place your posts at a maximum of 8 feet apart.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re buying fence panels, you should be able to easily measure the area you\u2019d like to fence and get the precise number of posts you\u2019ll need from your calculations.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan your fence well<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to avoid buying too much fencing (or not enough) is to measure out the areas you want to fence properly from the beginning. The easiest method is to <strong>use some string and stakes to mark out the areas you\u2019ll be fencing.<\/strong> Ensuring the string is taught, you can then measure the entire length of the fencing you will need.<\/p>\n<p>The great thing about measuring properly from the beginning is that you should avoid overspending on materials AND you can even opt to buy a made to measure fence product, which makes DIY installation even simpler.<\/p>\n<h2>Dig deep for a more resilient fence<\/h2>\n<p>Another common mistake that DIYers run into is not installing their fence posts deep enough. The problem again is that if your fence posts aren&#8217;t deep into the ground, <strong>they can be more easily blown over during bad weather.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fence posts should be a minimum of 2 feet below ground level, but it can vary with the height of your fence. If you&#8217;re unsure how deep you should set your post, a good rule of thumb is to place one-third of your fence post underground.<\/p>\n<h2>Go the extra mile if you\u2019re using concrete<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re installing your fence posts with concrete, you\u2019ll find some people recommend a DIY tip of pouring dry concrete in your hole first, placing your post in the dry concrete, then watering the concrete to let it set.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds simple, and it is.<\/p>\n<p>However, using<strong> this method actually causes the concrete to not set as strongly as premixing concrete prior to pouring it into the hole. <\/strong>This means that your fence simply won&#8217;t be as strong and won&#8217;t last as long as if you had gone the extra mile and premixed the concrete before putting it in your hole.<\/p>\n<p>Be wary \u2013 not all tips are good for your fence!<\/p>\n<h2>Get galvanised nails to avoid staining<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re planning your fence, you should make sure to get all the right materials \u2013 including the right nails. If you don&#8217;t use galvanised nails, which are treated specially for the outdoors, your nails will rust much more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Rusty nails don\u2019t just shorten the lifespan of your fence \u2013 <strong>they also cause hideous staining on your brand new wood!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t just use any old wood<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of materials, be careful to make sure you build your fence with the <em>right<\/em> material. Don\u2019t make the mistake of using any old wood \u2013 your fence needs to withstand many outdoor conditions over the years, from pouring rain to red hot sunshine and even frost.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid your wood warping and rotting, you\u2019ll need to <strong>choose either a wood that has been treated for outdoor use, ready made fence panels or a composite fence panel.<\/strong> These should all guard against the elements and ensure your fence looks great for years to come.<\/p>\n<h2>Face your fence the right way<\/h2>\n<p>This one is a common rookie mistake \u2013 <strong>building your fence the wrong way around.<\/strong> Although you may think you would prefer to see the nice side of your fence from your window, it\u2019s better practice to face the fence posts, rails and pickets towards your home.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will the neighbours prefer it, but that way your home has much more \u2018curb appeal\u2019 for any future sales.<\/p>\n<h2>Be brave \u2013 you <em>can<\/em> do it. And you can always get free advice.<\/h2>\n<p>Lastly, don&#8217;t be put off fence DIY. It&#8217;s one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your garden space and can look terrific. Follow these tips and you&#8217;ll be sure to get a great result.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, if you\u2019re ever stuck or worried about how to install a fence properly (or if you have any other fencing queries) you can always <strong>get in touch with the experts at eDecks who offer completely free advice.<\/strong> Not only that, you can access free installation guides to help make sure you get it right first time.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any friends who might benefit from our tips, please share this article with them.
