FENCING

Properly erected fencing can dramatically enhance the look, feel and security of your garden and last for many years to come.

We listen to your requirements and then advise you upon the options available taking into account viable solutions and budget constraints. Whatever the material decided upon it will be of the best quality to ensure longevity and sourced locally and therefore sustainably.

 Here’s just a few things you need to consider:

  • How much do you want to spend?
  • Are there neighbours to consider, meet with, share the cost with?
  • Are there any planning restrictions?
  • The expertise required to erect a fence that will stand the test of time
  • The purpose of the fence – is it for privacy, security, a decorative feature or to keep wildlife out or all of the above?
  • Long-term maintenance – accessibility and capability.

Depending on your requirements, there may be just one or perhaps several fencing types which are suitable for your needs – Here’s a little information that might give you food for thought at this early stage.

 

Types of Fencing

Fence Panel Crop

Panel

Lap panel fences are purchased in panels and can either be attached to wooden fence posts or simply slotted into groves on concrete posts. This is a very cost-effective option and provides privacy with a verysecure boundary to your property

Featherboard Crop

Feather Board

EXCELLENT FOR PROVIDING PRIVACY AND ARE CONSTRUCTED WITH OVERLAPPING VERTICAL FEATHER EDGE BOARDS. THESE FENCES ARE STRONG AND USUALLY UPWARDS OF 5 FEET TALL WHICH MEANS THEY ARE PERFECT FOR CREATING A SECURE AND PRIVATE BOUNDARY. ​

Picket Crop

Picket

Picket fences are easily identifiable by their neat, evenly spaced vertical boards and are generally used as a decorative boundary. They don’t provide privacy but do mark out a boundary clearly and provide a safe area for children and larger pets to play in.

Post And Rail Crop

Post and Rail

Generally used on farms and livery yards to provide a secure and strong boundary for larger animals. The structure is basic, but attractive when done well, and can be combined with pig or chicken wire to keep in (or out) smaller animals.

Trellis Crop

Trellis

Is very flexible and has many uses. Trellis added to the top of an existing fence provides a deterrent for burglars as it will not hold their weight. Trellis can be attached to the side of fencing for climbing plants, or to create distinct spaces or areas within your garden.

Panel And Post Crop

Panel with Concrete Posts

Using concrete posts and gravel boards extend the life of your fence significantly, but at a higher cost. Closeboard fences are excellent for providing privacy and are often used in rear gardens, especially as many places have height restrictions on front aspect boundary fencing.
