Palisade fences are very popular today because they have both functional and aesthetic value. You could buy a ready-made palisade fence or you could build one. The advantages of building palisade fencing include the fact that you get to save money, you get to determine such parameters as the dimensions and the design, and you can take the fence making as a project to relieve stress or to bond with friends and/or family.
So, how do you go about building a palisade fence? The first step in building palisade fencing is researching to determine the design to use and to determine the dimensions of the fence. The next step is sourcing for the materials (posts, rails, straps, hinges, and nails). You could get wood or steel for this, although some people are making the fences from concrete nowadays. The number of posts and rails depends on the length and height of the fence you want to build. Next, dig the holes where you will plant the vertical posts. The holes should be about 1.8 meters apart and 60 cm deep. After planting the vertical posts, use concrete for reinforcement. The next step is attaching the horizontal rails with appropriate spacing. Next, attach the vertical straps or palings, and then do the finishing by making slanting cuts on the top for rain water to drain off. Also, treat and paint the posts, rails, and palings.
