Fencing and gates: what the job involves
Putting up or repairing garden boundaries — timber panels, featheredge, post-and-rail, composite boards, railings and gates — on posts set in concrete. In an Irish wind, what keeps a fence standing is post depth, post spacing and the gravel boards at the bottom.
How long it takes: One to three days for a typical back garden; old concrete footings, rock, slopes or a long run add time.
The full guide to fencing and gates — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.
