ᐅ Garden Fence – Fixed with “Fix-Clips” or Set in Concrete?

Hello,

we want to install a garden fence with two gates around the backyard of the property.

We are mainly considering a wire fence. It is available for either setting the posts in concrete or with the "Fix Clip Pro" option using driven sleeves.

Does anyone have experience with such a fence and can share insights about its stability, etc.?

Best regards

I’m not a fan of the drive-in sleeves; if a stone gets underneath, the post can become crooked. It also depends on the condition of your soil.

I understand, and the fence always seems to come up when the budget is already quite tight...

Our fence is made of sandstone with chiseled sandstone posts in between. Today, something like that probably wouldn’t be affordable anymore...

I would go with concrete. Ground sockets seem somewhat unreliable to me. I once installed them for friends, and it only worked moderately well. As mentioned above, a few stones or roots in the soil and the socket ends up crooked. Concreting is, of course, more effort (but still not expensive), and it ensures that nothing will be crooked or wobbly.

As mentioned above, a few stones or roots in the soil can cause the sleeve to tilt. Using concrete obviously requires more effort (but is still inexpensive), and it ensures nothing ends up crooked or shaky.

I would do the same, or rather, we did. We also have a chain-link fence, which is barely visible in most places because the hedge grows through it.
