Fencing in Blackburn: your questions answered
Can fencing be installed on a sloping yard?
Yes. Contractors will step the fence to follow the slope, with gravel boards filling the gaps.
How do I stop water running under my fence on a sloping Blackburn plot?
Gravel boards help, and on steeper slopes a contractor can fit concrete or sleeper boards along the bottom of the fence to hold back soil. A small drainage gap or channel stops water pooling against the timber.
