Had a good look round this morning and everything seems OK. Glad that I had the fencing replaced a couple of years ago with concrete posts and gravel boards and anti bulge fittings in the middle of the wooden panels at the bottom. When we had the old fence with wooden posts we had a few occasions when one or two panels came adrift in high winds. The problem was that we have a large wooded bank alongside the house which is our property and we have a six foot fence at the top of it to give some privacy to our back garden. It was some of those panels that tended to blow loose which was very dangerous as they tended to skim away at a tremendouse speedforty or fifty feet across to the road which was some 10 to 15 feet lower down. They would have killed somebody if they had been hit by one.

Looking out across the gardens there are quite a number of fence panels down in gardens where they still have the original fencing and a few sheds with their felting missing including my daughters.
