Fencing

Before buying any round posts be aware that they will have large splits and knots in them. Most round posts are intended for agricultural use and not intended for play areas. These play posts would typically be about 8 times as expensive.

Why are round posts rough in appearance? 

Round posts are planted from fencing grade products – fast grown European stock. They are primarily for agricultural fencing chosen for low prices and faster growth rather than for their appearance 

I have been offered some Cundy Peel round posts and they seem very cheap? What am I letting myself in for?

We do not sell Cundy posts but there is nothing wrong with them as such. They are rough-cut posts with the bark scraped off. Safest bet, if appearance is important, would be to try and get some images of these posts before p

September is all but here, but the weather is still glorious in patches1

i was just looking through some of our timber fencing images and was struck by the simplicity of this tanalised timber fence.  We have a range of smootl planed slats with 500mm slats and 75mm width slats proving the most popular.

38 x 88mm Sawn Pressure Treated Rails (FSC Mix)

Sawn, pressure treated fence rails are mainly used for featheredge fencing and "Post and rail". These fence rails are machined from unseasoned timber, then cut into popular lengths. All the timbers are pressure treated, aka tanalised, at the mill.

Fencing rail lengths

The most common use for 38 x 88mm rails is the framework for a featheredge fence. Our standard rail lengths are 3.0m, 3.6m, 4.2m and 4.8 metres which means that the post spacing can be varied to suit the installation site.  Ideally rail Joints should be staggered so that the rails do not meet on the same

Putting some Osmo colour into your garden

What could be better than relaxing in your own garden on a summer’s day. A little colour in the right place will freshen up your outdoors even more - touch up the colours of a fence, old garden shed or renovating a gate. With the right products from Osmo, your garden will be rejuvenated and you will have more time to enjoy your garden.

Making light work of it

One of the beauties of Osmo is that almost all Osmo coatings and finishes can be applied directly without any sanding – no priming either, just two thin coats of Osmo Country Colour can perform miracles. This is also the case when Osmo products were used for the previous coating.

An opaque finish

For coatings from other manufacturers, Osmo recommends sanding down the surface before adding any Osmo products. When re-applying it is best to use a roller on smooth surfaces and

Before and after photos of fencing

Do you have an old garden fence, blowing in the wind? Odds are that it is letting the dog (and the kids) out. But it doesn't have to be that way. More quality fences are coming onto the market, and here are a few ideas if you need to repair your boundary fence this Autumn. 

First of all, we have a simple boarded fence which blew down earlier in the year. The customer called in a local contractor (James AA Gordon) and he recommended a new DuraPost fencing system.

Looking at the length of fencing that blew over, the rotten posts can be seen on the right-hand side of the fencing slats.  Durapost were suggested because they manufacture pre-galvanised
