No-Dig Metal Panel Fencing: where no-dig panel fencing works well and where it does not, so you buy the right fence the first time
Buying no-dig metal panel fencing for the first time raises the same handful of questions every time: how much do I need, how do I stop it sagging, and will it actually do the job. Here is what matters for no dig garden fence outdoor specifically.
Measuring your run
Measure the full perimeter of the area you want to enclose, then add a little extra for overlap at joins and for wrapping around corner posts rather than cutting and rejoining. 81cm high, 10 panels totalling 7.2m run is what this particular roll or kit gives you — check it against your measured perimeter before you order, since buying one roll short usually costs more in a second delivery than buying slightly generous the first time.
Where no-dig panel fencing works well and where it does not, so you buy the right fence the first time
Pushes straight into the ground with no digging, post-holes or concrete, and comes back up just as easily. That is the main reason to pick this material over the alternatives in our range — weigh it against a longer-term wire fence, if you are enclosing an area for good rather than for a season.
Fitting it
Panels of this type push straight into the ground — firm the soil either side once each panel is in, and check the run is square before fixing the last panel.
The short version
Measure first, buy slightly generous, and match the material to the actual risk in your garden rather than the cheapest option on the page. Get in touch if you are not sure no dig garden fence outdoor is the right fit for your run.
