Conditions on the ground.
When planning to erect a wooden fence, the ground soil and gradients of the land should always be considered.
Planning ahead of time will save lots of money and stress when building the fence.
So educating oneself about what is needed is adamant.
Planting the fence posts in wet soil will require treatment before the posts are planted.
H4 treatment is very durable and is often used on piers in places where conditions are constantly wet.
Planting posts on sloping land.
This is often a very challenging task that requires a vast amount of planning before the construction begins.
Firstly the gradients of the land must be considered.
The fence itself will have to drop down in increments which require purchase of particular types of wooden fencing.
For this there are two choices; Firstly, Close-board or lap panels can be used.
These are the types of panels traditionally used and are often the easier choice.
Alternatively, hand-made panels can be used.
This obviously requires skills and knowledge in this area as the wood will need to be cut and treated in the correct manner.
Constructing a fence on rocky ground.
This is a common problem for many.
Rocky ground can create all sorts of problems so proper precautions should be taken.
If this is ignored and the work is undertaken before-hand, the posts will actually lean over time.
Careful placement of the wooden fence.
Finally, "Land lines" should be considered before any construction is started.
The location of these lines need to be clearly marked out, but often the costs of constructing the fence can be shared between neighbors if the line meets half-way.
