Preparing for Fence Construction: Key Steps

Every construction project begins with a design plan, especially when it comes to something substantial that serves more than just a decorative purpose. A fence’s primary goal is to protect the property, safeguard belongings, and provide security for residents. A well-thought-out plan ensures the fence fully meets both practical and aesthetic needs.


Creating a Project Plan

If you’ve already chosen the material for your fence, the next step is creating a project plan. This involves visualizing the layout, deciding where posts, gates, and entrances will be placed. But what if you’re starting from scratch on previously unused land?

  • Obtain a Cadastral Plan: This document provides the precise layout of your plot. You can find it on a public cadastral map or request it through local authorities. The process is straightforward, with documents typically prepared within five business days for a nominal fee.
  • Sketch a Layout: Based on the cadastral plan, draft a rough design showing where posts will go. For a polished final plan, consider hiring a surveyor. They will visit the site, assess conditions, and prepare an accurate layout with cost estimates.
  • Professional Input: Surveyors account for nuances like soil type, terrain, and post placement. For example, loose soil may require additional reinforcement, such as tamping or concrete footings, to prevent future issues.

Proper planning ensures the fence serves its intended purpose while optimizing the use of materials.


Clearing the Site: Removal and Leveling

Before construction can begin, the site must be cleared and prepared.

  1. Remove Old Fencing: If the property already has a fence, dismantling it is the first step. Light structures can often be taken down with basic tools like hammers or crowbars. Heavier installations may require professional equipment or assistance. In challenging cases, posts can be cut, but this is less ideal.
  2. Dispose of Waste: Clear the site of debris, including old materials or large objects obstructing the fence line.
  3. Tidy the Area: Mow grass, remove shrubs, and uproot trees if necessary. Leftover vegetation can pose fire hazards in warmer months.
  4. Level the Ground: Minor uneven areas can be smoothed out, but extensive leveling usually isn’t necessary. For hilly terrain, opt for a step-style fence design that adjusts to elevation changes.

This preparation ensures the site is ready for efficient construction.


Marking the Layout

Using the cadastral plan as a guide, mark the perimeter of your fence.

  • Place stakes at corners and bends in the layout.
  • Use durable string or line to connect the stakes, creating a clear boundary for construction.
  • Mark gates and entrances with additional stakes for proper post placement.
  • Pay close attention to property lines to avoid disputes with neighbors.

Why Preparation Matters

The preparation phase is critical for the success of your fence. During this stage, the layout is finalized, and critical factors like soil type, wind exposure, and material selection are addressed. Proper planning ensures the final fence is sturdy, functional, and visually appealing.

Investing time and effort in these preliminary steps guarantees a high-quality result that stands the test of time.
