Without the correct tools, constructing a fence for your garden is nearly impossible.
Even if your shed or garage carries an enormous amount of tools accumulated over many years, specialist tools are often required for this job.
The first tool one needs to think about acquiring is a hole digger or auger.
This is a specialist tool that can actually be hired from many local garden fencing contractors.
Rental of these tools typically costs between 32 and 40 pounds per day.
Unless you are planning to build a fort, it is probably a better idea to rent one rather than buy one.
The next tool you will need is a saw.
To hand saw the panels and posts is very tiring work, so a power saw is what you really need.
This kind of tool can be rented from many different types of companies, and actually you may even own one yourself.
A hammer and a punch is something that you will also need.
Make sure that when you choose your hammer, it is of adequate size and designed especially for the job at hand.
You should want to make the job as easy as possible for yourself, as lifting heavy posts and panels will quickly deplete your energy levels.
Finally, you will need to have a carpenter square, a level and a piece of string.
This is essential if one is to construct a level and strong fence.
One incorrect measurement can actually weaken the overall rigidity of the fence, leaving it prone to damage or collapse during a storm.
If you have all these tools ready, you will save yourself lots of time and effort in the long run.
