A fence, step by step
Every fence goes in the same way, stage by stage.
- 01
Find the line
The property pins found, 811 called for buried lines, and a string pulled taut where the fence will run.
- 02
Dig the holes
A hole every eight feet, three feet deep and three times the post wide, belled at the foot against frost.
- 03
Set the posts
Each post plumbed both ways and set in concrete, the corners and gate posts first, then the line between.
- 04
Hang the rails
Rails fixed level with stainless screws, stepped on a slope, so every board lands square.
- 05
Fit the boards
Boards spaced or overlapped to the pattern, a cap rail on top, the gate hung and its latch set.
- 06
Stain and clean up
Stained or oiled once the wood is dry, every offcut and spoil hauled, the line walked with you.

Questions
Why is the price a range?
Because the ground decides a lot: rock or clay under the line, a slope to step down, an old fence to pull, how far we carry materials. The written estimate after we have walked it is a fixed price.
Do you find the property line?
We find the corner pins and build inside them. If the pins are missing or a neighbour disagrees, we ask you to have the line surveyed first; it costs less than moving a fence.
How do I pay?
A deposit holds the build date, the rest when the fence is finished and you've walked it with us. Card, check or bank transfer.
What does the warranty cover?
Our workmanship for five years: posts that lean or heave, gates that sag or stop latching, loose rails and hardware. It doesn't cover storm or vehicle damage, or the natural greying and checking of wood.
