Taking on a DIY project can be incredibly rewarding and building with ModularWalls is no exception when you use these DIY tips. Whether you’re upgrading your backyard, creating a new boundary fence, or installing a pool surround, our systems are designed to be straightforward and achievable for DIY enthusiasts.
To help you plan with confidence, we’ve broken the process into three key areas: the tools you’ll need, the DIY tips that make all the difference, and the timelines to keep you on track.
The Tools You’ll Need
One of the best parts of a ModularWalls DIY project is that it doesn’t require a workshop full of specialist tools. Most of what you’ll need is already in a standard toolbox. A spirit level, tape measure, shovel, drill and wheelbarrow will cover the basics. You may also need some concrete mix for the posts and a post-hole digger to make the job easier.
With these essentials, you’ll be ready to assemble your wall panels and posts with ease. Proof that smart DIY tips don’t have to mean complicated equipment.

DIY Tips for a Smooth Build
DIY success comes down to preparation. Before you begin, make sure you’ve carefully measured your site and checked for any underground services where you plan to dig. Lay out your panels and posts in advance so you can see how the wall will come together.
Taking your time with the footings is also key, setting posts straight and secure makes everything else fall neatly into place. Another DIY tip? Don’t go it alone if you don’t have to. Having an extra pair of hands can make installation faster, easier and way more enjoyable.

Timelines You Can Trust
Every project is unique, but most ModularWalls DIY installations can be completed over a weekend. Digging and concreting the posts is usually a half-day task, followed by a curing period for the concrete. Once the posts are set, installing the panels is quick and straightforward. Many homeowners are surprised by just how fast the transformation happens, in just a couple of days, you can go from open yard to a stunning, private wall system.
