Product Information

If you’ve already got a fence in your garden but it’s a little on the low side. You can easily create some extra height. Here are some handy fence extension ideas: 1. Add trellis panels Often fences are limited to 6 or perhaps 8-feet tall, but there are fewer restrictions for items on your property although you may need permits, particularly if the structure will be overhead. Before you even consider touching any fence, it's important to either get your neighbour's permission or let them know. Doing stuff without telling anyone is likely to get your neighbours defensive. This fence wasn't ours, so this was even more important. We also replaced the fence panels in the same direction, giving them the good side.

Pet safety. Some acrobatic dogs can leap over a four- or five-foot fence. Cats, too, are capable jumpers and climbers. Dog and cat fences are important for this reason. Extending the fence by a foot or more might be enough to keep your pets in their yard — or neighborhood pets out of yours If your existing panels are in good condition and you don’t want to replace them there is another method that will allow Trellis to be fitted above. This method would involve attaching timber battens to the rear of your posts so they finish above the post at the height that you would like your trellis to finish at. Trellis can then be screwed to the front of these battens above your existing fencing. The trellis will be slightly offset towards the rear of the post using this method which can be alleviated (if required) by fastening plant on battens to the front of the timber uprights you have previously attached to the top of your posts then fitting your Trellis between these directly above the existing panels. Pricing for fence toppers varies depending on materials and, if necessary, installation. Here are a few examples: Pet fencing. If you need to keep your energetic pup in their yard, chain-link or poly-mesh fence toppers can attach to almost any fence type.

Well, take heart in the fact that there are a number of options available to you even if you have concrete slotted posts. For ease of understanding we will have to split the explanations according to what you are looking to achieve. Each of the above methods generally relate to panel fencing rather than ‘in situ’ fencing whereby the boards are nailed onto horizontal rails that have been secured to either concrete or timber posts. This type of fencing can be made higher by removing the existing boards and nailing longer ones on in their place. Remember though that the boards will be unsupported at the top when doing this and may be snapped if somebody tries to climb over. You may choose to fix the new boards to the rear of the existing rails, leaving the existing boards on the front in place but remember that the increased weight will be adding additional stresses to your posts so make sure these are in good condition before doing this. As mentioned above it is important to remember that increasing the height of your fencing panels will increase the wind load on your fence and as such you need to be certain the posts will be able to withstand the increased stresses. Timber Infills and Post Extenders will not improve the structural integrity of your posts and drilling battens onto concrete posts will weaken them slightly.
