Fence Repair the easy way
From time to time we need a fence repair, high winds, age of panels, accidents, even rusty nails can cause fence panels to fail. So if you're looking for a fence repair you've come to the right place.
At Advanced Fencing and Gates we understand the problems a damaged fence can cause, worries over security, pets not being kept in the garden not to mention the way broken fence panels look. In almost all cases fence panels can rarely be repaired economically, this is mainly due to a number of factors.
- Fence panels rely on the whole unit being stable and strong, taking fence panels apart to repair them can often be more time consuming and expensive than replacing them with a new fence panel.
- If one part of the panel is rotted the whole panel is compromised.
- Failed or wobbly fence posts will ensure any repaired or new panel will simply fall out in the slightest wind.
- Advanced Fences panels are manufactured to stand the test of time and can be repaired to a greater or lesser extent. Other inferior fence panels aren't built the same way, timbers are weaker and brittle so can rarely be repaired.
The easy way to fix a fence panel.
- Firstly work out why the panel has failed.
- If timbers are split or damaged try to nail them back together, using thin nails.
- If you have any spare timber to hand, try using additional pieces to support the repaired section.
- Ultimately if you aren't handy, the quickest and easiest way to fix a fence panel is to replace it. It's important to try and understand before buying any new panel why the old one failed in the first place. The team at Advanced Fencing and Gates can help you understand the problem and come up with the best fix.
Timber fence panels sometimes fail
Due to the very nature of timber products from time to time, they can eventually fail. Having a good sound fence installation carried out from the start is imperative and good maintenance of panels can extend their life.
However, when fence panels are past their best and need to be replaced it's imperative that the timber is disposed of properly, some pieces of timber can be re-used or upcycled if you are handy with a saw and nails.
The rest of the timber shouldn't ever be burnt, burning timber used in fence panels can be dangerous as it can contain harmful chemicals and preservatives. So dispose of used fence panel timber at a council approved recycling centre, of course if we fit a new fence for you all the waste is taken away for you and disposed of properly.
