Fencing

[Clippy]

Can't believe I'm posting this, but here goes.

Having a fenced erected at the w/end at my BTL property to keep the riff-raff next door at bay.

Ordered the panels during the week which come pre-treated with preservative.

As I am not a big fan of the neighbour, is it worth applying additional preservative/creosote etc to the panels before errecting the fence as once it's up it's not going to be possible to gain access to the neighbours side.

Initially thought I would treat prior to installation, but now reckon install them as is and to re-treat them in a few years by which time the w@anker next door should have moved on (as he is a tenant). Plus, I can't be @rsed to go to the DIY stores after work.

You are allowed reasonable access to other property to carry out maintenance work. And if he is a tenant the landlord can give you permission as long as he (the tenant) has notice. When putting fencing up you are meant to put the good side out BTW.

I'd do them before you put them up.

I knew a guy who used old engine oil mixed with Creosote and then used to pay me to paint them (I was a kid)

It used to stink but I guess it got rid of his old engine oil.

Erm don't get on with the landlord either - bit of a disagreement with him about, funnily enough, the fence.

He should be sticking it up as this boundary is his responsibility.

If it's an annual job, then the preservative on the panels should see me through to next year when I can worry about it then.

I'll stick a reminder in Outlook to post on here again next year to see what everyone thinks.

Hey! I absolutely resemble that remark

Build a wall instead and cement broken glass into the top of it. Will last longer, won't need as much work to stop it rotting and will give the riff raff next door a nasty shock if they try and climb over it

Isn't that illegal?
