The team at AVS have identified a good article on how it’s important for a consumer to choose their fence carefully and also the importance of planting it in the right place. The article can be found at the Canadian fencing newspaper, www.thestar.com, which comments “People set low budget marks for fencing, often consumers budgets is one-third of what’s realistic.” said Lea Bailes, president of Guier Fence.

The Met Office have not yet predicted the UK weather for autumn/winter 2009, but even if they did – would we believe them after the barbeque summer we were meant to have? The main threat to your fence is the winter storms which normally begin with gales in October - remember 1997? The taller and more exposed your fence is – the more at risk of damage your fence is.

What can happen to my fence? Normally one of three things ... Your fence posts can break usually at ground level this normally affects timber fence posts or become loose in the ground and sometimes the fence panel can be damaged.

To answer the question, we recommend walking the fence line whilst doing the following:

1. First, look for signs of rot at the bottom of the fence posts and try wobbling the fence post backwards and forwards. Beware! Some posts may break, but at least you will not get a sudden surprise on a cold wet winters morning. This will also detect posts that are loose in the ground.
   
   
2. Inspect the Fence Panels for signs of rot of damage or if you have closeboard fencing, check the ends of the rails join firmly with the post specially the top rail.
