We recently completed a full fence replacement in Norton, Stockton-on-Tees, transforming a failing timber fence into a strong, long-lasting boundary using concrete posts and heavy duty lap panels.

The original fence had completely deteriorated at ground level, with rotting posts and collapsing sections — a common issue with older timber fencing.

Before – Failing Timber Fence

The existing fence was no longer fit for purpose:

Timber posts had rotted at the base
Gravel boards had broken down
Panels were leaning and unstable
The fence line was uneven and starting to collapse

This type of failure is typical when timber is in direct contact with the ground over time.

After – Strong, Long-Lasting Fence Installed

Our Dodds Approved Installer replaced the entire run with a much stronger system:

Concrete fence posts for maximum durability
Concrete gravel boards to protect against rot
Dodds Heavy Duty Lap Panels for a clean, consistent finish

The result is a solid, straight fence built to withstand weather and last for years with minimal maintenance.

Why Concrete Posts & Gravel Boards Are Better

Upgrading to concrete posts and gravel boards eliminates the most common failure point in fencing — timber at ground level.

Key benefits:

✔ No rot at the base
✔ Stronger in wind and bad weather
✔ Longer lifespan than timber posts
✔ Lower maintenance over time

For most properties, this is the best long-term investment when replacing a fence.
