Fence Installation in Ipswich

Fence installation in Ipswich for garden boundaries, front gardens and full replacement runs. Closeboard, feather edge, panel and picket fencing, fitted with posts set to the right depth so the fence stays straight and upright.

Choosing the Right Fence Type

Closeboard is the strongest option and suits exposed boundaries. Panel fencing costs less and goes up quickly. Picket suits front gardens where you only want a low boundary. Height, privacy and how much wind the boundary takes all point towards one or the other.

Concrete or Timber Posts

Timber posts look better and cost less, but they rot at ground level in time. Concrete posts last far longer and take panels that can be lifted out and swapped. Many fences use concrete posts with timber panels, which is a sensible middle ground.

Gravel Boards and Ground Contact

The bottom of a fence sits against wet soil, and that is where rot starts. A gravel board takes that contact instead of the panel and can be swapped out cheaply when it goes. Concrete gravel boards last longest and lift the panel clear of the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fence installation cost in Ipswich?

Fence installation in Ipswich is priced per metre and depends on the height, the fence type, the posts and whether an old fence needs taking away. Concrete posts and gravel boards cost more up front and last longer. We measure the run and give a free quotation.

How deep should fence posts be set?

As a rule, about a quarter to a third of the post goes into the ground, so a two metre fence needs roughly two feet of post below ground. Exposed boundaries and taller fences need deeper holes and more concrete. We set posts to suit the height.

Can you fit a fence on a sloping garden?

Yes. On a slope a fence is either stepped, where each panel stays level and drops down at the posts, or raked, where the panels follow the ground. Stepping suits panel fencing and raking suits closeboard, which is built board by board on site.
