Things to Consider Before Installing a New Fence
Whether you’re a homeowner wanting more privacy or desire a more aesthetically pleasing garden, we’ve got all the tips you may need when you are considering installing a new fence. Installing a new fence can transform aesthetics, safety, and privacy; however, it is high-quality materials and expert installation that we believe make all the difference.
Choosing new fencing might seem simple, but there’s more to it than you might think. When it comes to installing a new fence, there is an array of considerations that need to be factored into your decision-making. Here are some top considerations from us here at Sky Fencing to help you get it right the first time!
1. The Purpose Of Your New Fence
When considering installing a new fence, it’s important to start with the purpose. We typically find that considering the purpose of installing a new fence is a practical, cost-effective, and time-effective strategy, which prevents last-minute delays and changes. It is worth asking yourself whether your new fence is for security, privacy, or aesthetics, and the importance of each of these factors. Your purpose and the varying importance of each of these factors will determine the type of fencing, design, materials, and installation process you will need.
2. The Materials
The purpose of installing a new fence can largely influence the choice of materials used. Whether the new fence is for securing your property or land, providing your garden with more privacy, or giving your outdoor space a visual makeover, here at Sky Fencing, we can help you decide on the necessary materials based on your individual needs and requirements. However, just because a new fence has a functional need, that doesn’t mean that it can’t look aesthetically pleasing too. Our expert team can help you with considerations such as decorative trellis tops or painted panels, which can be tailored to match your garden design.
The Quality Of The Materials
There’s nothing worse than getting a project off the ground and completed, only to find that a year down the line, it needs redoing again. This is why the quality of the materials for your new fence matters! As a trusted fencing supplier, we source and supply high-quality fencing materials that are built to endure the unpredictable British weather. Here at Sky Fencing, we offer high-quality and trusted timber, concrete, and composite materials designed for durability, strength, and visual appeal.
Fence Footings
Footing is an integral element of installing a new fence. The depth of the footing for fence posts needs to be calculated correctly for optimum stability, accounting for unpredictable British weather. Other factors to be considered are the different levels of your garden and how to accommodate an out-of-level area. We would suggest contacting a skilled professional to help you calculate this if you are unsure how to proceed. Our team is highly experienced in working with these common issues and would be happy to help. We can help with supplying and installing footings for your new fence.
Tools
Most tools needed for installing a new fence, you may already have; however, some, like a Post Hole Digger, are more of a niche product. If you are looking to install a new fence, then we would advise checking that you have all the tools you need before you start to save time. Here at Sky Fencing, we stock a range of tools suitable for fence installation. However, if you don’t want to purchase new tools that you may only use once, you can choose a trusted fence company to execute the installation of a new fence. Our team is renowned for professional new fence installation and would be pleased to help.

The measurements
If you are looking to install a new fence yourself, we strongly recommend double-checking your measurements before placing an order. As a trusted local supplier, too often we see that people have miscalculated their fencing supplies. So, to avoid any issues, please double-check your measurements before placing any orders.
Alternatively, let a trusted expert install your new fence, then you don’t need to worry about measuring and ordering each item required. Here at Sky Fencing, we provide hassle-free supply and installation services for the installation of new fencing.
3. Check Legalities and Local Regulations
As some areas have restrictions on fence material, especially in conservation areas, it is important to check local legalities and regulations. However, in regard to rear garden fencing, it is always essential to first check who the fence belongs to, especially if you have adjacent neighbours. To check fence ownership, you can often find this information on property deeds.
Once you have ascertained ownership, you can then consider the height of the fence. Typically, a fence can be up to two metres without planning permission (this may differ for a front garden due to the placement of a road). This is a notable consideration if you are thinking about adding a trellis to the top of a fence, as this will need to be factored into the purchase of fencing materials. We recommend checking all these factors before placing any orders.
4. Completion Time
Considering the time frame for your new fence installation is an integral part of the planning. When you are ordering multiple fencing supplies and tools, it is important that they all align. For instance, it’s no use if your fence panels and posts have arrived, yet your tools for creating the footings have not. This is where the experts at Sky Fencing come in. You can order your fencing supplies from us with our fast and efficient delivery. Or choose us to install your fence and alleviate any worries about aligning deliveries and a slow completion time.
5. Who should you choose for your new fence parts or the installation of your new fence?
Incorrect fencing supplies or installation can lead to loose or ill-fitting posts, uneven finishes, and leaning fence panels. Which is why selecting the right fencing supplier and/or installer is such an important decision.
To ensure the quality and effectiveness of a new fence, always buy from a reputable and trusted supplier. A professional fence installer will ensure that everything is carried out to your specification, with strong foundations, quality materials, proven methods, and attention to detail that withstands the unpredictable British weather.
Your new fence is a long-term investment that affects your security, privacy, property value, and visual appeal of your property. That’s why selecting a trusted fencing company, like Sky Fencing, can make all the difference to your finished product. When it comes to picking the right fencing company, experience, reliability, product range, and customer service all matter. We believe that Sky Fencing checks every one of those boxes, and more.
