This Caldmore job centred on a new run of garden fencing across the back of a plot. The photo shows dark-stained panels between concrete posts, with concrete gravel boards along the bottom and a bed of freshly dug soil in front. A cut tree trunk stands just beyond the fence, and the neighbouring fences on either side are older.
How a fence like this goes in
Panel fencing starts with the posts. They are set firmly in the ground, spaced to suit the panels and checked for plumb before anything is fixed to them. Concrete posts, as used here, are slotted to take gravel boards and panels, which keeps the timber lifted clear of wet soil. The panels then drop in between, and the line is checked along the top so it runs straight.
What the photo shows
The new section sits between two older fences, which is common on shared boundaries where one stretch is replaced and the rest stays. The soil in front has been broken up, and part of a rotavator is visible at the edge of the frame. We cannot tell from one picture what the bed was prepared for, but ground turned over like this is ready for turf, planting or levelling.
