According to our friends at the Met Office (www.metoffice.co.uk), there are 184.1 sunshine hours in August compared to 138.00 in September. This is a difference of 46 hours! Maybe the time has come to make sure you get your Grange elite panels before those sunshine hours start fading away.

Additionally, if we have that much admired Indian summer you can sit back and enjoy your garden with the fantastic eye catching St Lunairs Panel or try the St Michel Panel, which are currently on special offers.

Come and see our fantastic Garden fencing ranges on our easy to use website, where we are confident you will find the perfect Fence Panel, all at affordable prices.

AVS Fencing Supplies have hundreds of garden essentials which will ensure you get the best out of your garden.

The installation of fencing and landscaping products is not a 100% exact science and as such customers all have different requirements. AVS Fencing Supplies realise this and we therefore, offer a workshop service on a range of products including the making of gates & trellis, as well as the morticing and topping of fence posts.

Our workshop service has had fantastic feedback and is offered for a small cost, with a slight extension of normal delivery times as we put the products through our on site workshops.  For more information please call us to discuss your individual needs 0800 288 8324.

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.
