Fencing Portfolio

High winds continually flattened the old panel fence, the low level wall was a security risk and the metal gate had rusted shut

The high winds – now not a problem. We built a feather edge fence instead of the old panels. Those big 4” posts will withstand anything and the solid frame construction gives it massive strength

Also, by using feather edge we could raise it above the wall to create one continuous line. The old gate – angle grinded off and a new gate with security bolts top and bottom fitted

Hey presto!

What I can only describe as the ‘Rustic’ style of the existing fence – ie worn out.

Voile! A new fence that will last. There was an added problem however on this one. The neighbours garden was 1m lower than Rhiannas and the soil was crumbling. We fitted a gravel board retainer to the base of the fence to hold the soil back with the timber-lined with a damp proof membrane so the damp soil wouldn’t rot the wood.

Jill lives in an amazing house in Coombe Down but its on the edge of an old quarry with a 20′ drop.  Not ideal for the grandkids so we built a post & rail fence along the edge for safety.

With such an amazing view Mike wanted a low level fence to keep the dog in without spoiling the view so this Picket style was the ideal solution.

Rianna’s garden – 3 fences blown down in high winds and she had enough.  We used concrete posts as the solution.  A fence falls down usually due to the posts rotting with typical lifespan of 10yrs.  Concrete posts never rot.  The main drawback is cost – 3x more expensive and not as attractive but they will last a lifetime.

This rustic ‘Hurdle’ fence fitted in brilliantly at Anna’s period property in Long Ashton.
