When properly maintained, which includes replacing individual planks and boards as needed, a well-built wooden fence can last in good condition for up to 20 years or more.

Hardwood is one of the best timbers for fencing options as it’s strong, durable wood that’s incredibly aesthetically pleasing. Each hardwood has its own individual texture, colour and grain to ensure your fence has its own unique appearance.

You should always build a garden wall on a solid foundation of a trench filled with concrete. This is called the ‘footing’, and if it’s substantial and accurate, your wall will last longer and be easier to build.

If you want privacy in your garden, a brick wall is a way to go. Whilst a sturdy fence can provide this, they often have gaps between slats which can give unwanted coverage of your personal space. A brick wall on the other hand is completely solid.

Permeable paving slabs reduce surface run-off water by allowing it to drain through the surface and into the sub-base with no need for additional linear drainage systems.

In most applications, a wood fence should be installed at least two inches off the ground. Your posts and rot boards (if you choose to install them) should be the only fence components that contact the ground. Wood pickets should never touch it.

Depending on the size of your outdoor room or building, this may be necessary, however our team can advise you on the best way of approaching this whilst sticking to agreed timescales.
