Why you shouldn’t DIY when it comes to fencing

Installing a fence must be easy, right? Grab a few of bags of concrete, and a friend to give you a hand, and then off you go! The problem is that your fence may also ‘go’ with the first gust of wind and end up in your next-door neighbour’s garden!  

Here are 6 reasons why it’s best to get a professional to install your new fence:  

1. Correct installation along the property line. If this isn’t done properly and the fence is mistakenly installed on a neighbour’s property, it will likely have to be removed. Expert advice can prevent expensive mistakes that are difficult and inconvenient to remedy.

2. A fencing professional can give help and advice on the best type of fencing for your home, needs and budget.

3. Many different tools are needed to complete a fencing installation, some of which are specialised. If you DIY, you’ll have to buy or rent equipment for a one-off installation.  

4. A professionally installed fence could also save money of repairs and replacement.  

5. They will get the job done fast, unlike a DIY job having to be done over the course of a couple of weekends (wouldn’t you rather be doing something else?!).

6. A professionally installed, great-looking fence increases security and privacy and can add value to your home.
