I’m so happy that the days are getting longer, lighter and, slowly, warmer. I’m not a big fan of cold and dark winter days… I mean, who is? Instead, I’m an avid enjoyer of warm summer months spent outside sipping on a cocktail (or two!). I enjoy wearing pretty, colourful dresses and you can’t beat a lovely summer dress. I enjoy eating my meals outside while enjoying some sunshine. Can you tell I love the warm months?
This year, now that we’re able to see our friends and family without any obstacles, I want to transform my garden to properly welcome guests back. Part of this transformation is uplifting my garden fence. Have you looked at yours recently? Is it looking old, worn and damaged? Maybe it’s time you give your garden fence some attention too.
What are post support shoes?
I’ve mentioned in the title that post support shoes can be used to uplift garden fences but what are post support shoes? Speedy Fixings, 150 x 150 post support shoes supplier, explain that post support shoes are metal shoes that wrap around timber posts to offer extra stability, support and strength. These are often used on wooden posts of garden fences to withstand the elements better, and thus, ensure fences have a longer lifespan.
“Post shoes are known by various names, including post supports, fence post shoes, post support shoe and bolt down post shoes.” Further explains Rice Cake and Raisins. There are various types of post shoes, from lightweight post shoes to heavy-duty post supports and even custom made post shoes. To find out the best post shoe for your garden fence, I’d recommend speaking to the professional team at Speedy Fixings.
What are the benefits of post shoes?
Rock N Roller Baby also adds that post shoes “offer protection against water damage, fungal damage and insect damage. All of this prologues the strength and, in turn, the overall lifespan of your outdoor structure.” So, not only do post shoes offer further strength, support and stability to garden fences but these also offer protection against common damage, such as water, fungal and insect damage.
Other ways to uplift a garden fence.
After ensuring your garden fence is stronger by installing post supports, the fun part starts – painting your garden fence! A new lick of paint will completely transform the look of your garden fence, so what are you waiting for? Make your fence stand out by painting it in a fun, bright colour or give it a timeless look by painting it white (black fences also look stunning!).
Stressed Mum shared that “The beautiful wooden fence that was in your garden when you first moved in has now turned into a grey and discoloured fence.” To fix this issue, “All you need is a power washer and some oil stain to make it look brand-new again.”
