Put up the lamellar fence in the garden

A lamellar fence in the garden not only offers protection from prying eyes, but also provides a pleasant shelter from the wind. Putting up a lamella fence is not that difficult. As long as you are technically skilled, you can do it yourself.

How to erect a lamella fence

Before installing a lamellar fence in your garden, you should first find out about the local regulations. In some municipalities and cities there is a regulation regarding the permissible construction height.

1. First, mark the positions of the posts. Since the individual slat elements are usually 1.80 m wide, you have to set the posts accordingly. Of course, you have to add the width of the posts and about 1 to 2 cm of clearance to the 1.80 m.
2. To ensure that the lamellar fence is precisely aligned later on, you should use a straight line when marking the post positions.
3. The easiest way to attach the posts is to use ground impact sleeves. These are simply driven into the ground at the marked positions using a sledgehammer. You have to make sure that the sleeves are driven in vertically. Otherwise the posts will be crooked later.
