Fence posts
or gate posts can go a long way in preventing pests from getting into your
garden as well as provide privacy from the rest of the neighborhood.
Installation of fence posts in Sydney can be expensive, so the idea of doing
the fencing and setting it up on your own may seem quite attractive. The most
difficult part for most is the setting of the fence posts. Although it may seem
daunting, all you need is a little information and a lot of hard work.
Gate posts
are the backbone of any fence installation, as they're the material that holds
the fencing in place. The fence posts
have grown from being just a preventive and protective entity for your home or
garden to becoming a means of adding attractiveness and increasing the
aesthetic value of your home. For this purpose, manufacturers have started
producing designer fence posts. These designer fence posts are of the same
quality and material but they come in various designs and colors which make
them and attractive option compared to the regular steel or wood fence posts.
There are 2
important things to be kept in mind while installing the fence posts or the gate posts. The first important thing
is spacing of the posts. The posts need to be properly spaced out and set in a
level position to allow for the fence boards to be installed. Another important
factor to be kept in mind while setting up fence posts in Sydney apart from
spacing, is packing. A hole will have to be dug to about a third of the fence
post’s height to hold it in place. Once the posts are level, the holes can be
packed with either dirt or concrete, but concrete will definitely be a more
stable and sturdy option for setting up the post.
