If you're looking for fencing panels and help, read on...

1) Before you begin, take measurements for all aspects of the fencing. Use an accurate tape measure.

2) Think about the height of the fencing panels you need. High fencing panels creates privacy, but can restrict views (yours and your neighbours).

3) Make sure you own the fence boundary. Most properties have a clearly defined ownership for each boundary fence/wall/hedge.

4) Use high quality fencing panels and posts. These will last much longer and will be stronger.

5) Use concrete fencing posts with fencing panels slots and kickboards. These make it much easy to maintain and replace panels in the future.

6) Look around your local area for fencing panels. Take photographs so you can review the fencing panels when you get home.

7) Allow time to add preservative to your fence panels. The more you can prepare and preserve the panels, the longer they will last.

8) Use search engines to find fencing panels. Type in 'fencing panels' and check out the results it shows.

9) Many gardening magazines have sections showing fencing ideas. If you don't want to buy the magazine, see if your local library has copies for you to read.

10) Allow plenty of time to complete the job. Clearing and preparing can take much longer than expected.

11) If you are installing a gate, think about security and access.
