Garden Fencing all year round
The latest "Beast from the East" due in late November 2022 may be averted but wet weather and high winds are a feature of the British climate. Constant heavy rain followed by high winds will soften the ground and posts become loose - a fatal combination for the garden fence. It is worth considering your current fencing and whether you will repair or replace your existing fencing style.
Repair or Replace?
Whatever fence styles you may have you will need to check your existing fence posts, are they loose and is there any rotting just below ground level?

Installation Step 1 - Calculating Grass required
Before starting work you need to calculate how much artificial grass you will require. Carefully measure the overall length and width of the planned turfed area. Always allow for the widest part of the lawn.
Namgrass artificial grass is supplied from 2 metre or 4 metre wide rolls. For a garden area of 5.2 metre wide and 6 metre long you would need 2 rolls: 4m x 6m and 2m x 6m. You would then cut back from the 4 metre (possibly 2 metre) roll to achieve you 5.2 metre width.
