Fence panel grips are stainless steel fence accessories designed to stop annoying banging and rattling panels. Made from stainless steel s are designed for use with steel, timber, and aluminium fence panels. They are suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.

These panels come in one size, so depending on the gap between your panel and post, it might take more or less hammering. There’s no need for any specialist tools or heavy machinery. Just a hammer to tap them into place. Alternatives to Fence Panel Wedges The big disadvantage of using wood is when they get hot, they will expand. If you’ve hammered them in too tight, the fence panels can (and will) break. Tie-Down Straps If you don’t want to make any holes in your fence panels, using a bungee cord can be a great alternative to tie-down straps.

Fence panel wedges are a highly effective and low-cost solution for preventing rattling. They work by supporting the bottom edge of the fence panel with a solid, non-flexible wedge.

The wedges are inserted into the gap between the fence post and panel, then gently tapped into place with a hammer. How to Install Them They can be nailed or screwed into the bottom of the wooden fence post. The shims will add an extra layer between the fence and panel and fill the gap. Fence panel wedges are used to stabilize loose or sagging fence panels and to prevent them from rattling when the wind blows. This can be achieved by inserting a wedge on both sides of the panels to tighten them against the fence post. All of these alternatives work similar in some way to panel wedges. They all fill the gap between the panel and fence, and limit the amount of the the panel can make hitting the post. Fence Panel GripsAdding wood shims to your wooden fence is a great way to stop fence panels from rattling. Wood shims are available in both hardwood and softwood versions. There should always be some movement in a panel fence. The movement is necessary to allow the fence to move with temperature changes, which can cause wood to shrink or expand. It also reduces the change of panels snapping under the strain of high winds. Tie-down straps come in many different lengths and widths. They are made of nylon webbing with a high-quality hook on one end and a loop for attaching to a fence post on the other end. Measure out the inside of your post (the bit that goes into the ground) and cut a length of sealant equal to this measurement plus an extra 5cm (2 inches). The extra 5cm will help you get a good tight fit. Cable ties are long, thin plastic straps that can be used to secure loose, rattling fence boards. The ties are better than nails or screws because they don’t go through the fence board and make it harder to remove.
