How best to place it?
Installing robinia fencing yourself is very easy. The instructions on how to install your fencing will quickly get you started to easily install your fencing yourself.
Step 1) Prepare the necessary materials and tools:
The robinia fences and robinia wooden poles, stainless steel screws or staples, an auger (motorised or not), a spade, a drill, a wooden hammer, a saw, long measuring tape or string and wire pliers
Step 2) Post installation:
- The most commonly used robinia posts are 8-10cm or 10-12cm in diameter. Posts are normally placed every 2m.
- Level the area where the fencing is to be installed.
- Stretch a wire or ribbon in tight straight line just above the ground.
- Drill a hole at both corners. The posts should be about 1.5x as high as the fence, which means the holes should be drilled a little less than 1/3 of the post length. Make sure that the diameter of the auger does not exceed the thickness of the posts
- Place the corner posts in the holes and hit them deep enough with a wooden hammer for strength. Keep the height of the top iron winding wire of the fence for the top of the post.
- Measure out the exact location of the intermediate posts. Place these robinia posts in the same way as the corner posts.
Step 3) Fence installation:
Unroll the fence and mount the first batten with staples or screws on the first corner post. When doing so, make sure you place the trellis with the points facing upwards. At each successive post, stretch the fencing well. For stretching, you can use a spade which you place between the post and a robinia wooden batten.
Step 4) Joining 2 rolls of Robinia fencing 0.80m batten spacing 4/5cm:
First, remove the last slat from the last placed roll. Do this by using the wire pliers to unscrew the iron wires. Then place the first slat of the new roll between the loose ends and tighten the iron wire again.
Durability of robinia fencing
Robinia wood is a European hardwood species and is known for its durability. It falls into durability class l/ll. The fencing has a lifespan of about 20-25 years. However, experience shows that because the fencing has little to no contact with the ground, it can last even longer! The slats are attached to each other with braided iron wire. This keeps the fencing in place and you can enjoy your robinia fencing without any worries!
Great to combine!
Thanks to our many suppliers, we almost always have robinia fencing in stock incl. the corresponding peeled Robinia poles and staples. The rolls of fencing are 5m or 10m long as standard. This depends on the batten spacing and height of the fencing. A Robinia post is normally driven into the ground every 2m or so, to which the Robinia fencing is attached with staples.
