Fence panel fences are what most people immediately think of when they think of garden fencing. A fence panel fence is constructed using fence panels and either timber fence posts or concrete fence posts set at approximately 6 feet apart, a fence panel fence tends to be the quickest fence to erect and requires perhaps the least experience as the garden fence panel is ready made there is a limited amount of construction work to do on site.

Whatever your Fencing requirement is, AVS has the solution. It seems that the only fencing that AVS doesn't deal with is fencing classes! As in the sport fencing. Fencing (the sport) provides a unique mix of physical, intellectual and emotional stimulation. Unlike many other sports it's very sociable and still carries notions of honour, chivalry and nobility. Many of history's most famous people have studied the art of fencing. A certain amount of dedication is required but apparently, it's worth it!

Do you want to have garden fencing that make the neighbours go green with envy? It is essential to concrete certain types of fence posts into the ground. With others it is a complete waste of time and money. How do you know which are which? Follow these simple rules to ensure your fence panels stand loud and proud throughout the tough British weather.

Rules

• If the fence is solid, you need to concrete the posts to withstand wind pressure.
• Concrete your fence if it is a picket or palisade fence.
• If the fence is chainlink concrete the end and corner posts to support against the tension of the wire.
• If the post supports a gate concrete it.
• If the ground is soft concrete it.
• If the post is made of concrete, concrete it.
• If the post hole fills with water when dug,use a dry concrete mix.
• If the fence is a livestock fence of post and rail no need to concrete.
• If the fence is a livestock fence of stock mesh no need to concrete.
• If the fence posts are round normally no need to concrete.
• If the post is an intermediate post for a mesh or strained wire fence, there is normally no need to concrete it.
• If the fence is a low level trellis fence, it is advisable to concrete it.

If the rules above dictate that you should concrete your fence posts, then click here to log onto the AVS website where you can find all the necessary tools.
