FAQs – Fencing

How long does garden fencing typically last?

Most well-installed timber fencing lasts between 10 and 20 years, depending on the wood type and level of treatment. High-quality pressure-treated panels, especially closeboard or featheredge styles, are designed to withstand weather exposure far longer than cheaper alternatives. Regular care, such as keeping panels clear of soil contact, can extend their lifespan even further.

What type of fencing is best for privacy?

Closeboard fencing is one of the most popular choices for privacy because its vertical boards overlap tightly, creating a strong, solid boundary. Featheredge and composite privacy fencing are also excellent options. These styles block views into the garden while providing a sturdy, long-lasting barrier that enhances both security and appearance.

Does garden fencing need much maintenance?

Timber fencing requires occasional maintenance, such as applying protective treatments or stains every few years to prevent moisture damage and fading. Composite and vinyl fencing need far less attention, simply requiring a wash down with warm, soapy water from time to time. Regular checks after storms help ensure panels stay secure.
