What does the professional do when installing a fence against an existing fence?
The professional makes sure the new fence connects neatly to the existing fence and stands solid and straight. The work usually includes:
1) Measuring & planning
Checking the line, height and where the new fence should meet.
2) Preparing the area
Ensuring the ground is workable and removing obstacles such as roots, old posts or rubble when needed.
3) Setting posts / creating a solid connection
Placing new posts at the correct depth and spacing, or creating a strong connection towards the existing fence—depending on the situation.
4) Mounting panels/slats & aligning
Installing the fence sections level and straight for a clean, tight connection to the existing fence.
5) Finishing & handover
Final checks, tightening fixings, neat finishing details and leaving the workspace tidy.
