Fencing

Fences offer privacy, security, and a unique look for your home. 

But with so many fencing options on the market, it can be hard to know where to start. 

This guide will help you find the right fence for your garden space.

What type of fencing do you need - decorative, privacy, or safety fence

Decorative fences are used to enhance the appearance of a property, garden or landscape. They add beauty and elegance and can be used to create boundaries or divide spaces.

Privacy fences are used to provide privacy and security. They are usually taller than decorative fences and are often made of solid wood or metal.

Safety fences are designed to protect property from intruders. They are usually made of metal and are perfect for securing a job site or premises. When choosing a fence, it is important to consider its purpose and the level of security it will provide.

What style of fencing will look best with your home and garden

The type of fencing you choose will not only play a role in your home’s curb appeal but also provide essential protection for your family and pets.

If you have small children or animals, you’ll want to choose a fence that is tall enough to deter intruders but not so tall that it blocks out natural light or feels like a prison.

A picket fence is a classic choice that will complement any style of home, while a privacy fence is ideal for those who want to keep their outdoor space private.

For a more modern look, consider a metal fence. Whatever material you choose, make sure it is durable and easy to maintain. With so many options available, there is no reason not to find the perfect fence for your home.

What is the height and length of the fence you need

When choosing a fence, you’ll need to consider both the height and length.

The height of the fence will determine how much privacy and security it provides, while the length will dictate how much space it covers.

It’s important to choose a fence that is the right size for your needs. If it’s too short, it won’t be effective, and if it’s too tall, it may be difficult and expensive to install.

When measuring the space you need to fence in, remember to account for the height of the fence, as well as gates and any other features.

How much maintenance will the fence require

All fences require some level of maintenance, but some are more work than others.

If you choose a wooden fence, you’ll need to stain or paint it every few years to keep it looking new. A metal fence, on the other hand, is much more durable and doesn’t need to be painted or stained.

Whatever material you choose, make sure you are aware of the maintenance required and budget for it.

Are there any planning regulations or restrictions that apply

Before installing a fence, it’s important to check for any planning regulations or restrictions that may apply. In most cases, planning is not required for a standard fence, but it’s always best to check.

Some areas have specific height or style restrictions that must be followed

Is there a budget you need to stick to

When choosing a fence, it’s important to consider your budget. Some fences are more expensive than others, and it’s important to choose one that fits your needs and budget.

There are a variety of factors that will affect the cost of a fence, including the height, length and type of fence. 

It’s also important to consider the cost of installation and maintenance.

When budgeting for a fence, make sure you include all associated costs so you don’t end up overspending.

What is the size of your garden

Before you can choose a fence, you need to measure the size of your garden or property.

This will help you to determine the length and height of the fence you need.

It’s also important to consider any gates or other features that will be included in the fence.
