But do you have the time and skill to do the job correctly and to a high standard? – FRS Fencing offer a full ‘supply and fit’ contract fencing service to get the job done.

 

Tips before you embark on DIY Fencing

  1. Be prepared in advance and measure up the area you want to fence
  2. Make a list of materials needed – or ask FRS to help you in store. eg Strainers, posts, wire, staples, insulation etc.
  3. Check you have all hand tools required – or ask FRS to help you in store. eg Hammer, fencing pliers, wire pullers, wire dispenser (spinng jenny) etc.
  4. Is your post driver in good working order or if you need to hire one – is it available? and can you use it safely and effectively?
  5. Safety ! If you are working in unknown ground, check for overhead lines, buried cables and water pipes etc. It only takes a few minutes to check and could avoid an accident or money and time spent on repairs.
  6. Labour – have a good experienced tractor driver with you as a lot of the fencing work is done behind the tractor and if you are working a standard post driver you are depending on the tractor driver to operate the block of the post driver – which can be very dangerous in the wrong hands!
