Wall mount or ground mount
Wall mounting onto solid brick is the fastest and cheapest option and suits most homes. The frame folds flat against the wall when you are not using it.
Ground mounting on two posts set in concrete is the answer when there is no suitable wall, or when the wall is cladding without solid backing behind it. It costs more because of the footings and the concrete cure.
Choosing the spot
Pick the sunniest wall with some air movement, usually north facing. Then check the swing clearance so the arms open fully without hitting a fence, downpipe or garden bed.
We test the fixings and the fold action before we leave, so you are not finding a loose bracket with a full load of wet washing on it.
Central Victorian ground is often hard and rocky, particularly around the old goldfields areas. Rock makes post holes slower, which can affect the labour on larger runs.
City of Greater Bendigo generally allows boundary fences to 2.0 metres, with heritage controls through central Bendigo and Eaglehawk.
Hot, dry summers fade timber and paint fast. Oil based stain outperforms paint on paling fences here, and lighter Colorbond colours hold their look longer in the sun.
Larger blocks are common, which means longer fence runs. That works in your favour on per metre pricing since long straight runs are the most efficient to build.
Can you fit it on a brick wall? Yes, we use the correct masonry anchors for brick and rendered walls.
