Think fencing as temperatures tumble

It’s getting colder after another mild spell. But a little sensible planning can avoid problems and ultimately save money.

Watch out for high winds

Panels and posts take a hit during windy weather. Check how solid they are by pushing against them for an impression of how they would cope when it’s blowing a gale. If there’s a wobble, it’s time to firm up replacement plans.

Stop the rot

Rot will make your fence panel or gate post weaker. Check for leaves and debris and take immediate action if you spot damage.

Seal the deal

Add another coat of paint or stain to protect wood and extend its life when the weather bites.

Tree trouble?

Overhanging branches can be a threat to sheds and summerhouses. Check branches aren’t weakened and keep an eye they’re not getting weighed down with snow over winter.
