The Danger of Old Walls and Fencing

The danger of old walls and fencing

Whether you are a business or an individual if you have a responsibility to ensure anyone on or near your property is safe.

When it comes to old walling and fencing, you need to be mindful of how it will affect people both on or near your property.

Residential fencing and commercial fencing must be safe

If your old fencing is around your pool you could be in breach of pool safety laws. Not only can this cost you a hefty fine, it can also cost lives. Since the introduction of compliant pool fencing the number of drownings has decreased, and from 30^th November 2015 all pool fences and barriers must be compliant with current legislation.

The higher the damaged retaining wall, the harder they fall. The main issues associated with a damaged retaining wall is when excessive water builds up and puts pressure on it. A retaining wall’s integrity can be compromised and when it falls it can lead to some costly repairs.

When walling and fencing is old, there is the worry that it can fall and hurt someone. If your property causes damage to someone you could be liable for compensation and any damages, not to mention the legal, ethical and moral repercussions if you fatally hurt someone.

Children and animals that can escape if there is a damaged wall or fence, so maintaining your boundary walls or fencing is important for the safety of your children and animals.

Had a rendered fence supplied and installed a few years ago. Very happy with it. Today I needed a couple of replaced parts and Natasha was very helpful to solve for me. Appreciate the great after sales service.

Poly-Tek's excellent customer service and extensive product knowledge helped me from start (first phone call) to finish. It was a very pleasant & rewarding experience for me. I have already started referring Poly-Tek to others people who have not dealt with this great business yet. I highly recommend this company and their innovative building products!!
