Garden fences in combination with bricks

Garden fences are also applied in combination with bricks. In that case, you can build up the posts with possibly a brick wall at the bottom. However, this is the most labour-intensive application. Don't forget that you also need to make a solid foundation in the ground to absorb the weight and pressure. Most people therefore choose hardwood garden fences in straight or curved form in combination with a hardwood post, which is available in various profiles, thicknesses and lengths. A post is easy to install with a soil drill and the garden fences can be attached to the hardwood posts with simple clips. The best results are achieved by using planed posts. The thicker the post, the more solid the garden fence will be. If you choose a wood product from Hardwood Discount, you have bought the best quality hardwood.

A fence element is usually 1.8 metres high, and is always placed above ground on a post. If you are looking for a straight screen, choose a 180x180 curved screen, which is lower at the sides. Most fences have a total height of almost 2 metres. Because the hardwood screen does not come into contact with the ground, it remains clean, and the garden fence has a much longer lifespan. A fence offers privacy, so you can enjoy the garden undisturbed by a delicious barbecue or spring sunshine. With a good cheap hardwood fence you can easily make the backyard your own outdoor room.

PLANS FOR A MODERN FENCE IN YOUR GARDEN

Have you ever thought about the building codes?

The height, width and shape of a garden fence are subject to local building regulations. You can obtain the applicable regulations in your municipality from the office responsible. Please note that every municipality has its own regulations, so please inform yourself beforehand. You can find the standard answers to these regulations at the local government office. Below are a few rules about fences, hedges and other garden fencing.

Property boundaries should comply with the following rules:

• A fence, wall, artificial hedge, garden screen or fence next to and behind a house may not be higher than 2 metres unless there are other rules according to municipal regulations or local custom. In front of the house, the maximum height is 1 metre. You can always place an artificial hedge or trees behind or against the fence, garden fences, in order to reduce the view into the garden or onto the terrace. A soundproof fence, natural plants or an artificial hedge is hardly necessary.
• You are not allowed to make an opening or window in the wall, garden fence or fence. According to the law, there can be no windows, balconies or wall openings within 2 metres of the property line that overlook your neighbours' land.
• Without the permission of your neighbours, you can do what you want with your side of the communal garden fence. You can build on it and put beams, bolts etc. up to half the thickness of the fence, as long as you do not damage it. You may paint and/or attach brackets for planters on your side of a wall, garden fence or fence, for example. You may trim hedges on your side.
• A hedge or artificial hedge is not soundproof, but it can be higher than 2 m1 .

So, if you choose a standard garden fence 180x180, straight, curved or for a fan screen of up to 1.80 metres high, set it off the ground, you need a maximum height of 1.90 metres. Often, the hardwood fence is set at 2 metres, because then small height differences can easily be bridged, and there is 1 top line, which gives a nice result. The height is then always within the norm and you do not need permission from the municipality. 

The right dimensions

If you have made a clear picture for yourself how and where the garden fences or separate fence boards must be placed, then you can read in the assembly instructions that it is important to determine what surface you have and whether the wooden poles, for example, must be set in concrete for extra support and safety. The separate fence boards must be properly screwed to the posts, with hardwood garden fences it is important that you drill first to achieve a nice result. The standard rule for choosing the right length of a post is that about 30% of the length of the post must be in the ground for good stability. The most common length is 2.75 or 3.00 metres.

There are a number of standard rules for the construction of a fence, whether it is straight, curved or has a fan. And you will have to make considerations according to your personal building situation. Determine the weight of the construction, because often a shed will be placed on top of the fence later, or the garden fence will serve as a wall for a shed. Depending on the composition of the soil, you should use longer or thicker posts. A garden screen is for example 1.80 wide, the hard-on hard distance of a pole is determined by the thickness of the pole and the width of the garden screen. The total thickness of a garden screen is 42 mm. This gives a solid and sound end result. It is advisable to think beforehand about whether the garden fence must be equipped with electrical wiring for an extra power point, for example.

Hardwood has a long life, it lasts at least 20 years or more. Larch and Douglas fir are less durable woods. These normally last 10 to 15 years. Pine or Spruce only lasts 3 years, so all in all hardwood or Douglas fir is a better product for a longer life.

Wood installed in the ground will be affected more quickly than wood that is processed above ground. The different soil compositions in the Netherlands for example can have a negative or positive influence on the durability and therefore the life span. Hardwood has a denser structure than oak or Douglas fir, which increases its weight and lifespan.

Tips

A 180x180 Hardwood garden screen is relatively heavy. That’s because the composition of hardwood is very compact. This weight adds to a longer life expectancy. Choose preferably planed posts with a minimal thickness of 65x65 mm. Since the posts for fences with garden screens are noticeable, it’s a good idea to order a smooth planed square post with or without V-grooves. The general rule is: the thicker the post the more luxurious it looks. These are slightly more expensive than our standard 7x7 cm Azobe posts. A 90 degree angle adds more strength to your fence. At Hardwood Discount, we don't place the fence but we can offer all of the tips and tricks so everything will go smoothly.
