Tip 2: Do you need a permit?
Check your local planning & building regulations.
Tip 1: Dial before you Dig!
Picture this: You've picked up all the gear you need to build the new fence. It's Saturday morning, first thing, and you're keen to get in and get the job done. All going to plan you'll be able to kick back Sunday afternoon with an ice cold drink and admire your handiwork - a brand new fence!
Tip 3: Fastenings
For a durable, lasting fence use screws rather than nails.
Over time nails may loosen but screws will hold tight. Make sure you use the right screws for the type of fence you're building. Ask Chris or Johnno at our Stronach Timber Retail store in Scottsdale. They're happy to help!
Tip 1: Rules & Regulations
Some outdoor building projects, like decks, have regulations around height and railings.
Before you start, check with your Local Council. It may save you time and money in the long run!
Tip 2: Make a small garden seem larger than it is.
When the whole area is visible, the space looks smaller. Try a garden arch or arbour to create 'garden rooms'.
