Garden fence help
Hi we're looking to sell our house in about 1 year to 18 months we've got a small garden fence which is a bit of a mess we want to make the place presentable for selling any ideas on fences please without breaking the bank ?

This is a post I gave to someone else a couple of weeks ago, might help.

Use close board like this picture, easy with 2 of you. As already suggested use the postecreate bags (yellow bags in background) - Dig your hole - put post in, put a couple of litres of water in the hole and throw the mix in then tamper it with a stick, keep adding water/mix accordingly, goes of in minutes (which gives you enoujgh time to level it up) materials for this fence both sides cost £320 total for 30 metres delivered + one day for two of you to do.
In the pic i'm using a pasloade nailgun which speeds things up, however not really a diyer tool - Use a hammer and nails and you should get it done in a day. The fence is a lot stronger than pannels and if treated and maintained properly should last for years to come.




PS - Sorry about the builders a*s

To add to the above - often the posts themselves outlast the panels so it might be possible to leave the posts in place and put the new rails and boards onto them especially if you aren't concerned for the long term.

Only do this if the posts are concreted in, if they are in "spikes" I would spend the extra time putting new posts in - they are relatively cheap
