The ideal time to install a garden fence is during the winter months, when disturbance to the surrounding environment is minimized due to dormant plants. At the same time, winter is a milder climate and it takes some time for the new wood to slowly age, avoiding the problems of warping and cracking that can occur with wood in the heat of summer.
