What do wood fencing services include?

Wood fencing services include all the activities necessary to install a timber fence on your property. Your hired wood fencing builder can ensure that it is functional, aesthetically pleasing and complies with rules and regulations on fencing. This service can include taking the necessary measurements, procuring materials to put up the fence, assembling the fence and applying finishing touches. 

Taking measurements

Your wood fence installation begins by discussing the size and location of your wood fence with your hired Tasker. After you specify your needs and where you want the wood fence, your hired wood fence builder takes all the necessary measurements. They can place your wood fence anywhere on your property, as long as its placement complies with rules set by your state and your local council.   

Procuring materials for wood fencing

Upon request, some Taskers can get all the needed materials for constructing and installing your timber fence, from the type of wood fence panels you need to the sealants needed for the job. They can put up a fence in the style you want and get all the posts, timber frame and timber panels. 

Your hired Tasker can also cut any parts of the timber fence down to size if necessary. If your hired builder has to cut timber on-site, you may want to hire a separate service to clean up.  

Installing the posts and assembling the panels

Your hired builder can dig holes in your backyard to install the posts for the wood fence. They can ensure that the holes are deep enough and are uniform in depth before burying the posts. Before burying the posts, your Tasker can ensure that the posts are level and of equal length. Once they're placed in the holes, they apply a partial filling of concrete to each hole

Assembling and attaching the panel sections

Your Tasker can assemble sections of wood panels as the concrete dries. They can ensure that each panel is cut uniformly and at the right length, then assemble the panels into sections. Once the concrete is dry, your Tasker attaches fasteners on the top and bottom of each post. They then attach each panel section to the posts. 

Finishing touches

Your Tasker can install fascia boards on the outer sections of the wood fence and caps on each post. Upon request, some Taskers can apply a protective sealant to prevent moisture damage and repel pests. 

You can also hire a separate service to paint your newly installed fence in a colour that matches your home. While you’re upgrading your backyard, why not get someone to beautify what’s behind your wood fence as well?

Hi — I need a fencing contractor/handyman to repair a bulging section of our shared fence. The fence is in great shape, but 1-2 of the posts have given way, so there's a section ~2 meters wide now bulging and leaning. Scope of work: * Inspect bulged fence section, straighten/reinforce posts/panels. * Replace/repair post/s if needed. * Reinforce fence so it stays upright long-term. * Remove old fence waste, if any. Details: * Bulge is approx. 2-3 metres wide. * Must coordinate with neighbour (he's aware and keen). * Access is along side of house, ours/his. * Posts are on our neighbour's side. Questions: * Have you repaired bulging fences before? * What materials do you supply (posts/panels/wire)? * Can you also install trellis/wire? * Do you include waste removal? * Estimated turnaround time?

Our paling fence needs some repairs after recent wind damage. A couple of railings have become disconnected from the upright and one of the uprights is wobbly. About 5m in total have been affected. The adjoining land has been cleared and is awaiting rebuilding, so we are after some temporary repairs to ensure privacy and that the fence is secure for our dog.

A great communicator and easy to work with. The end result looks just as I wanted!
