Attaching 6ft fencing panels to fenceposts securely concreted in the ground is probably the most popular method of garden fencing. This may be because it is one of the cheapest ways to fence a garden. Cheapest however is not always the best! If your budget stretches to it, for a few pounds-per-metre more, you could consider one of these alternatives to panel fencing.
Close Board Fencing
Close board fencing attached to concrete posts and a concrete gravel board has three obvious benefits: It looks smart, it poses a strong deterrent to intruders and it will last a long time. The gravel board lies between the ground and the bottom of the timbers that form the fence – this extra level of protection from moisture increases the longevity of your fence.
Picket Fencing
The white picket fence – that great symbol of the neatly manicured American front lawn. The style is composed of upright rounded slats with narrow even gaps between them. This is an attractive choice where privacy and security are of less importance and the fence is just there to mark the boundary of your property. It doesn’t have to be white, either. We have installed a number of attractive picket fences in wood tones.
Iron Railings
Before the Second World War, when they were all collected up to be melted down into Spitfires, iron railings were one of the most popular ways of marking the boundary of a domestic property. They have recently made a comeback. The appeal is that you can see through the large gaps, so iron railings are a great choice if you have an attractive rosebush in your front garden. Railings allow passers-by to enjoy the sight and scent of your rose garden, but prevent thieves from picking the blooms.
