June 22, 2009 - PRLog -- It’s out with the old and in with the new for many a garden enthusiast as summer gets fully underway, but the thought of erecting a new garden fence to compliment your existing handy work, can be enough to bring even the most avid gardener out in a sweat. Now AVS Fencing, a leading provider of garden fencing and decking boards, are diminishing uncertainty with their step-by-step guide to erecting a fence panel style fence using a met post.

Dubbed as the easiest way to erect a fence, the traditional met post has long been used as a substitute for concrete, removing the need for extensive digging, larger wooden fence posts and removing the worry associated with rot and decay.

Mark Whiting, marketing director of the firm who offer everything for the green-fingered including picket fencing and railway sleepers, said, “I would certainly advise anyone putting up a fence this summer to consider using met posts. Using concrete post bases means that it could take you double the time or cost you so much more if you are paying labour costs for someone else to do the job. Met posts are extremely useful because they use a wedge grip to hold your posts in place and use specially formulated red oxide paint to protect the post spike from rust.”

Rot- something which can be a problem for fence posts which are inserted directly into the ground can be avoided by using met posts. Inserting a traditional fence post spike like those of the met post brand can be done in five easy steps...


  1. Your first job should be to mark out the line of your fence. Then using a met post driving tool and a sledgehammer to tap in the first met post using short firm strokes.

  2. Make sure that you continually check that the met post is vertical after a few strokes with the sledgehammer by using a spirit level and make sure that it does not twist out of alignment with each stroke.

  3. If your met post has twisted out of alignment, simply twist it back into line before continuing to drive the met post in with short firm strokes until you are happy that it is both level and vertical. Continue until the box on the met post is around one centimetre above the ground

  4. Now slot the wooden fence post into the box on your met post spike and tap it in until it hits the bottom, now all that is required is to fix the fence panel onto the fence post and fasten into place using galvanised nails directly through the battens or using met clips.

  5. Erect another fence post alongside your first, using steps one to four and you are well on the way to finishing your fence- well done!
