Fence sagging prevention can be achieved if you follow these sturdy fence installation tips. Today, we’ll take a look at securing Betafence’s EasyView and DeltaView fencing solutions to ensure they remain stable and secure over time.
Posts
Although EasyView and DeltaView fence panels are rigid, they can sag at the posts if not properly secured. The first thing to ensure is that you are using strong Betafence posts and that they are properly spaced.
-
Dig post holes at least 900 mm deep (or deeper, depending on the soil conditions) to provide a stable foundation.
-
Use an appropriate concrete mix to secure the posts and prevent movement over time.
-
If installing on an established concrete surface, bolt the posts down using a baseplate for added stability.
Fixators
When installing EasyView or DeltaView panel fences, using the supplied nylon or metal fixators correctly is crucial. These fixators allow you to attach the panels to the posts without having to drill holes through them.
-
Install at least three fixators per post, though this may vary depending on fence height.
-
For shorter fences, such as the EasyView DIY solution (1.14 m to 1.71 m high), two fixators per post may be sufficient.
-
For taller fences, such as the DeltaView high-security fence (up to 2.4 m high), four fixators per post may be required for maximum security.
Ensure the fixators are properly attached to prevent misalignment and instability. Loose fixators can pose a security risk and may cause the fence to shift over time.
Lastly, always check panel alignment before tightening the fixators. Misaligned panels can prevent the fixators from securing properly, leading to an unstable fence. Using a spirit level and a string line will help keep everything straight.
