3 Compelling Reasons Why You Should Use a Professional Garden Fence Erector

The weekend arrives. The posts and fence panels have been sitting in the garden for a couple of weeks. You are ready. You don your wellies, grab your spade and toolbox and head outside. You lay out the fence posts where you want them and pick up the first metal spike. You push it into the ground to get it started. Then you get the sledgehammer and bang it in. As it goes deeper, it starts to twist, OK, no problem, you simply twist it back and carry on. It twists again. 30 minutes later, the spike is in place, still twisted and also slightly wobbly. Ah well, you think, the whole thing will tighten up when the panels are nailed in place ...

OK, so you have decided that you want a garden fence. Putting up a boundary fence is pretty easy, right? Well yes, but the problem is, will it be a good fence or will it fall down prematurely? If you call in a professional fencer, you can be assured that it will last longer than most DIY fences. Economy is not always about getting the job done for the cheapest initial price. Anyway, here are three good reasons why employing a professional to erect your garden fence is more economical than doing it yourself.

One - deciding on the appropriate materials. You will end up spending hours deciding on the best type of fencing, or if you don't, you could easily end up with the wrong type of fence in the wrong place. Your fence could be over engineered for the location, in which case you will have spent more than necessary or it could be under engineered and will need replacing sooner than it would if it were done properly. Will you make your own fence from scratch or will you buy prepared panels? Will you set the posts in concrete or use metal drive-in footings? These and the many other questions will be answered almost immediately by a professional.

Two - obtaining the materials. Again, this will cost you a lot of time to source the materials. You will need to decide if you are going to get them from a garden centre or DIY chain store so you will need to go to both to check them out. Unless you have a large vehicle, your materials supplier will have to deliver. This can mean delays as they will need to schedule them in to their system and in some cases, you will have to pay a delivery charge. When they arrive, they will need to be stored somewhere until you get round to doing the work yourself. A professional fencer will collect the materials and store them at his or her premises until the agreed erection date arrives.

Three - erecting the fence. This is the crucial step, you will need to make sure that your fence posts are exactly in line, fixed into the ground firmly and that each post is vertical and not twisted otherwise weak points will be introduced into the structure. All this takes time and skill. OK, it's not rocket science but it does take a while to develop the skills so DIY will be slow going, unless you are happy with a sloppy job. The skills of a professional garden fencer are already there and you will be amazed at how fast and accurately they can do it. They will have the right tools for the job and be able to use them with skill. No twisted support spikes for them! Stress free, unlike the scenario of the opening paragraph.

Not convinced? Well that's up to you. Just think about what you could be doing with that extra free time that paying someone else to do your fence would give you.
