Why Should I Consider Wooden Fencing?

When you want to improve your garden, one of the most important factors to consider is your fencing. It provides your garden with privacy and security and adds plenty of character to your outdoor space, creating a safe place for the whole family.

With fencing, there are hundreds and hundreds of options available. Timber fencing has been the standout and go-to for many years now. Still, other types of fencing, like composite and metal, are becoming increasingly popular with customers, especially those who want a more modern and contemporary feel.

In the blog, we are going to take a look at timber fencing and some of the benefits to help you make a decision on the type of fencing for your home and garden.

Easy Installation

Timber fencing is really easy to install and can be cut to size to fit your garden. Repairing your fencing is also really easy. Typically, you only need to replace damaged panels rather than dismantling the entire fence. This means you won't have to worry about a loss of privacy or the high labour costs that can come with other fencing types.

Versatile Designs

Wooden fenceing offers great versatility for your garden. With so many types of wooden fencing, you can paint them any colour or stain them to bring out the wood’s natural grain. Whether you prefer the Contemporary Fence Panels or European Fence Panels we have endless options to choose from for your home. The versatility of wooden fencing is what makes it the most used type of Fencing in the UK.

Natural Integration

Unlike composite Fencing, our timber fencing provides a more natural look and feel to your garden. Although composite panels can have a natural look, they will never have that fresh wooden feel to them. The natural texture and colours from timber complement your natural garden. 

You can also further your natural garden feel by adding concrete gravel abords and timber posts, this will create the perfect outdoor environment.

Practical Benefits

Timber fencing is ideal for providing privacy, security, and durability due to its flexibility in size and shape. No matter the size of your garden, there’s a timber fence that will fit. Our Fencing can reach up to 6 feet tall without needing gravel boards. When adding gravel boards your fence can reach up to 7ft tall meaning your Fencing is providing the ultimate privacy.

Enhanced Privacy

A well-constructed timber fence offers the privacy you need to enjoy your garden without additional trellis or coverings. The panels keep out unwanted visitors and keep in children and pets. For maximum privacy, taller fence panels are ideal, but you can also add decorative elements to increase height up to 8 feet. Our wide range of gravel boards and decorative trellis will keep your garden safe while adding style

Wooden fences prevent pets from wandering into neighbours' gardens and allow children to play safely outdoors. A tall fence also acts as a deterrent to unwanted visitors, making your home safer.

 Metal Garden Fence.

As mentioned above, the increased privacy of wooden fencing is much cheaper than buying a larger composite or metal fence, which will not provide the privacy of our wooden fences.

Durability

Your timber fencing can last for decades if it receives the proper maintenance throughout its lifetime. Treatments will protect the wood from rot, insects, and weather damage, ensuring it remains strong all year round. With regular staining and panting your fencing lifespan will only increase.

Eco-Friendly

All our timber is sourced from local sawmills and approved by relevant bodies, contributing to lower carbon footprints. Timber is renewableand recyclable, making it one of the best materials to build your fencing out of.

Affordable Fencing

Wooden fencing offers excellent value for money. It’s typically less expensive upfront compared to metal or composite options. A well-maintained wooden fence adds significant value to your property, enhancing curb appeal and requiring fewer replacements or repairs over time.

Easy Installation 

Timber fencing is straightforward to install and maintain. With the right tools and knowledge, many homeowners can tackle installation themselves. For those who prefer professional assistance, we can supply you with the information of some of our local trades.
