The challenges for this project were many. The request to replace the existing old paling fencing was made by one party but to actually replace her fence PH Fencing had to liaise and prepare quotes for four additional parties, including one real estate agent as one property was a rental.
Other issues were the negotiation of slopes requiring longer infill sheets, concrete retaining walls on the boundary between two properties, tree branches, tree roots, tree trunks on the actual line of the proper boundaries and not to forget, 10 dogs between the 5 properties!
Scheduling in stages, clearing fence lines whilst containing the dogs was part of the days work.
To negotiate along the concrete retaining wall PH Fencing utilised the old round posts by sleeving them up new 65 x 65 steel posts, powder-coated by Mudgee Powdercoat. To reach between posts they went to a 3100mm rail.
To achieve an 1.8m high finish they negotiated the drop from the retaining wall with a raked panel (needing longer sheets). On the back fence it was clear the slope also required longer infills to rake the fence and keep the bottom rail 50mm above ground, following the slope in order to keep the dogs in.
On the southern fence they had to install sleepers as the garden on the other side was higher than the clients side, thus requiring longer C-posts.
The remaining short section (2 panels) on the northern side was relatively simple.
Dunn and Farrugia COLORBOND® steel Trimdeck Woodland Grey infill sheets were used on this project with Gal Posts and rails in various lengths and heights.
