IT’S the time of year to look forward to a nice warm home in the evenings, tucked away from the winter weather outside.
But unfortunately it’s also time to have a walk around the perimeter of your garden to ensure all your fence panels and gates are ready to withstand the increasingly harsh Irish winter.
Homeowners who have wooden posts supporting their panels should check at ground level for signs of rotting. For concrete H-posts, have a look along the uprights to make sure they are not cracking, advises Limerick-based Rite Choice Fencing.
With wooden gates, moist and wet weather can make them swell, making them difficult to open. Should you have any of these problems, consider the alternative option of a steel fence or gate.
Colourfence offers a 25-year guarantee against the paint peeling, blistering, rusting and corrosion. It will also withstands wind gusts up to 120km/h, and with four colours to choose from it is a “fit and forget“ product that will never need painting or treating, according to Right Choice Fencing.
Available in heights of 6’ and 7’ as standard, with the option to be cut to suit all needs, they also supply matching secure gates.
