How to fix hooks or brackets to Colorbond fence?

ZeroF

Hello,

I want to add some cat containment to my new garden. I did this in my old garden using brackets and shade cloth to make the top of the fence inaccessible - but the fence was wooden and easy to add brackets to.

How could I do something similar on a colourbond fence? 

I have no idea how to attach anything to one.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi @ZeroF,

You can do something very similar on a Colorbond fence. Most brackets can be attached using self-drilling metal screws straight into the fence posts. These screws don’t need pre-drilling; you can simply position the bracket, then screw it in using a drill driver, much like you would on a timber fence.

 

Just make sure the screws are long enough to get a secure grip in the post, and you’ll have a solid base to attach your shade cloth or mesh for cat containment.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
