From scope to a finished Mitcham line
Work runs in a fixed order so the programme holds.
Why long runs fail
The failures on long runs are predictable: a post short of its specified depth, a line set out from the wrong corner, and hoarding left standing long enough to lean. Post depths, set-out and a sighted line are all checked before panels go on, and shared boundaries are scoped against the Fences Act first.
What sits under Mitcham
Start with the ground and Mitcham makes more sense: clay over gravels near Brownhill Creek, firming to stony ground on the rise. With blocks that are the first lift of the foothills — village-flat near the shops, genuinely sloped behind, post depths and footings are matched to the site rather than a flat-rate default.
Quoting a Mitcham fence line
Pricing returns as a written scope against your drawings rather than a figure quoted over the phone. Where a wall sits under a Mitcham fence, note it in the request so posts, plinths and drainage are priced together.
The line is the product
A fence reads as one line, and one leaning post breaks it, which is why the work at Mitcham is judged on the line rather than the panel. Post depth is matched to the wind zone and the soil, posts are concreted and strung, and only then do panels hang.
