Create a backyard oasis with RONA

Now that the warm weather is finally upon us, we can’t wait to witness our backyards transform into a beautiful outdoor oasis, making it ideal for entertaining, dinners, backyard lounging and more. From patio furniture to grills and garden necessities, there are a number of ways to update your outdoor look with some diy projects, but a great place to start is with your deck area and fence. Both can transform an outdoor space to create an intimate but inviting space with the look you desire.

With the help of RONA and their range of diy fence packages to suit almost every need, designing and constructing your outdoor space has never been easier. With their fence packages available, decorating your outdoor living space not only offers a stylish look but the diy fence can be either necessary or purely decorative. Whether it’s for decoration or to keep your home private, the choice of what fence you put together is as important as decorating the space itself.

Before choosing the style fence you want, there are a number of points to consider before starting the job, such as:

• Check existing municipal regulations (maximum height, materials permitted, minimum distance).
• Check if there is any possibility of sharing the cost with a neighbor.
• Locate and measure the property line. Avoid solid panels more than 6′ wide in areas where heavy winds are common, and make sure the panel model allows air to circulate.
• Use stakes and string to mark the location of the proposed fence on the ground and determine the total length.
• On sloped ground, the fence should be installed in stages; you must therefore measure horizontally to obtain the exact length.
• Allow for the location of doors and gates.

It really can be rewarding to put together and enjoy a diy fence or deck you have built yourself, but it does demand more time and we do recommend you have someone to help you – it is not a one person job, If it is time that you lack or you simply prefer a professional, you can easily have your fence built by the experts on the RONA Installation Service team and get an estimate on the entire job, from start to finish.

Ultimately, if you want to do it yourself or seek a RONA professional, there are a number of options to help harmonize the existing elements of your outdoor environment with the right style fence. From fences equipped for privacy like the Rampart style to a more sophisticated Iron Lattice look with the NUVO FAIRWAY style, you can easily add fencing to your outdoor look that will compliment the look. We especially love the idea of painting the wood to fit with a colour scheme or to highlight an area of a garden or lounge area!
