A commercial property manager in Helensvale asked me to replace a tired 12.5-metre run of timber paling-style fence.
I pulled out the old fence and built a new timber paling fence along the same line, finished neatly and built to stay solid for years.
For the same manager I have also repaired a Rondo suspended ceiling frame, replaced damaged ceiling tiles, fitted new stair nosing and installed car park bollards. Each job was booked through the manager, done during business hours and invoiced with completion photos.
How I replace a timber paling fence
- Mark the line and remove the old fence and posts.
- Set new posts in concrete, plumb and evenly spaced.
- Fix rails and palings with galvanised fixings, keeping the top line straight.
- Keep palings clear of the ground to slow rot.
- Clear away the old timber and leave the site tidy.
