\"How<\/figure>\n

Before you start installing your rigid fence<\/strong>, one question always comes up: how long will it take? Whether you hire a professional or roll up your sleeves and do it yourself, having a realistic estimate helps you avoid unpleasant surprises. For 100 metres of rigid mesh fencing<\/strong>, you should generally allow between 2 and 4 days, depending on several factors we will detail here. <\/p>\n

Average installation time for 100 metres<\/h2>\n

Under normal conditions, a team of two experienced people<\/strong> installs around 100 metres of rigid mesh fencing in 2 to 3 working days. This timeframe includes marking out, setting the posts in concrete, the concrete setting time, and fixing the panels. <\/p>\n

If you are working alone and this is your first fence, plan for 4 to 5 days<\/strong> instead. Installation is not complicated, but handling the panels (often 2 metres wide) and setting the posts requires method. It is better to take your time than to have to reposition a poorly aligned post once the concrete has set. <\/p>\n

The steps that set the pace on site<\/h2>\n

The total duration depends heavily on organisation. Here is how the work is generally spread over 100 metres: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • Marking out and setting out<\/strong>: half a day to stretch the line, mark the position of each post and check levels.<\/li>\n
  • Digging and setting the posts<\/strong>: a full day for around 40 posts (spaced 2.50 m apart).<\/li>\n
  • Concrete setting time<\/strong>: an unavoidable 24 to 48 hours of waiting before installing the panels.<\/li>\n
  • Fixing the panels<\/strong>: half a day to one day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is often the concrete setting time<\/strong> that extends the schedule. You cannot fix panels to unstable posts, so this pause is part of the process. <\/p>\n

    What affects the duration<\/h2>\n

    Several factors affect installation time. The first is the nature of the ground<\/strong>. Soft soil is quick to dig, but stony, clay-based or sloping ground slows down post setting considerably. On rocky ground, plan for suitable equipment and a good deal of patience. <\/p>\n

    The type of post fixing<\/strong> also makes a difference. Posts set in concrete take longer than base-plate posts<\/strong>, which are bolted directly onto an existing wall or slab. This option can cut a full day off the job, as it removes the setting-time stage. <\/p>\n

    Posts set in concrete or on base plates: the impact on the schedule<\/h2>\n

    The choice between setting in concrete<\/strong> and base-plate fixing<\/strong> is not only about strength; it is also about time. Setting in concrete remains the most common and most robust method for a fence installed directly in the ground. However, it comes with the well-known setting time. <\/p>\n

    Base-plate installation is intended for already-masonry surfaces. If you have a low wall or a concrete grade beam<\/strong>, you save valuable time: the posts are fixed immediately, and you can follow straight on with the panels. Over 100 metres, a base-plate job can be completed in a single day with two people. <\/p>\n

    Do it yourself or hire a professional<\/h2>\n

    Installing your rigid mesh fencing yourself is entirely feasible, especially with complete fence kits<\/strong> that include posts, panels and fixings. You save on labour, but you invest time and energy. Allow extra time for your first job: level or spacing mistakes are costly once the concrete is dry. <\/p>\n

    A professional installer<\/strong> will work faster and guarantee perfect alignment, but the cost increases. For many homeowners, the best compromise is to prepare the ground and marking out themselves, then have a ready-to-install kit delivered. At Districlos, our advisers help you size your order and choose the most suitable fixing system<\/strong> for your ground. <\/p>\n

    Our tips for going faster without cutting corners<\/h2>\n

    A well-prepared job is a faster job. Gather all your equipment before you start<\/strong>: nothing is more frustrating than a trip back to the store in the middle of installation. Check that you have the right quantities of posts, panels, concrete and fixings. <\/p>\n

    Work in pairs whenever possible, especially for carrying and positioning the panels. Mark out your line carefully before digging a single hole: good marking out saves you a huge amount of time<\/strong> on the rest of the job. And respect the concrete setting time, even if you are itching to finish quickly. A fence installed properly will last for decades, whereas a few hours saved are not worth a post that starts leaning after a year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
