Where we started

The brief

Charlotte's back garden in West Norwood needed new fencing on both sides: one panel on each side of the garden, close to the house.

Rather than just drop new panels into old posts, we fitted new posts and new gravel boards as well, so the whole section is sound. Small jobs like this are a big part of the fencing in Tulse Hill and West Norwood we do.

The tricky parts

What went into it

01

New posts

New posts were fitted for both panels, so each panel is held firmly and the fence will not lean.

02

New gravel boards

New gravel boards run along the bottom of each panel, keeping the timber off the soil so it stays drier and lasts longer.

03

Two closeboard panels

A new closeboard panel went in on each side of the garden. Closeboard is made of overlapping vertical boards on a strong frame, so it gives full privacy and copes well with wind.

04

Waste taken away

All the waste from the job was removed, leaving the garden clear the same day.

Yes. Small jobs like replacing a panel or two are welcome. Here we replaced one panel on each side of the garden in a single day.
