Do I need to order my fence posts and boards or do you have the materials in stock?

How long can I expect your treated timber to last?
Our timber is pressure treated for a long life - you can expect 20 or more years for most of our products given normal wear and tear and a regular maintenance programme. Do however expect some weathering due to the natural properties of the wood.

 

What sort of maintenance will my fence / decks/ gates need?
All our products are pressure treated but application of a quality water repellent will help minimise the cycles of moisture takeup and loss the wood goes through outdoors. For maximum protection, this type of product should be applied as soon as the deck or fence construction is completed. Ensure you clean your project with an appropriate cleaner and leave until surface dry, before applying. It is particularly important to protect all sawcuts and drill holes. A regular maintenance programme should include inspection of all fasteners to determine if nails, screws or bolts are working loose etc. Occasionally, it is prudent to re-apply your water repellent.

 

How do I calculate how much fencing I need?
See the guides on the appropriate fencing page for suggestions on how to calculate how many boards, panels, posts etc you require. Alternatively,contact us with the details and one of our experienced staff will work out quantity and costings for you. We always recommend that you seek professional advice if you are unsure about any DIY project.

 

Do I need to order my fence posts and boards or do you have the materials in stock?
We generally have most of the listed materials in stock, although in busy periods it is best to check first. We can also have your order put to one side for you for easier loading. For gates and large quantities, we alway advise ordering.
