FENCES

1 WOOD FENCE

Timber pickets fixed to horizontal rails between solid posts. Warm, natural and fully customisable — the most popular choice for residential gardens.

Best for:

• Privacy screening around gardens and patios
• Decorative front-yard and boundary fencing
• Pet and child enclosures
• DIY builds (easy to cut and assemble)

Less suitable for: Permanently wet ground, exposed sites without regular sealing, applications needing zero maintenance.

2 VINYL FENCE

Hollow PVC posts, rails and panels that slot together. Bright, uniform and virtually maintenance-free — no painting, no rot, no rust.

Best for:

• Clean, low-maintenance privacy fencing
• Front gardens and pool surrounds
• Homeowners wanting a "build and forget" solution
• Bright white or wood-look finishes

Less suitable for: Very high-impact areas, plots needing a rustic or natural look, extreme heat where panels may flex.

3 CONCRETE BLOCK FENCE

Stacked, mortared concrete blocks forming a solid masonry wall. The most robust and permanent option — excellent for security, privacy and noise reduction.

Best for:

• Maximum privacy and security boundaries
• Noise barriers along busy roads
• Retaining and load-bearing walls
• Long-term, low-maintenance perimeters

Less suitable for: Tight DIY budgets, fast installs, soft subsoil without proper footings.

4 CHAIN LINK FENCE

Galvanised steel mesh stretched between metal posts. Economical, durable and quick to install — the practical choice for large areas.

Best for:

• Large perimeters and back boundaries
• Pet runs, sports courts and play areas
• Security where visibility is needed
• Budget-friendly, fast installations

Less suitable for: Privacy screening, decorative front gardens, sites wanting a premium finish.

5 STEEL PANEL FENCE

Pre-formed metal panels mounted on steel posts. Sleek, strong and modern — combines a contemporary look with high durability.

Best for:

• Modern architectural boundaries
• Secure, low-maintenance perimeters
• Commercial and residential front fencing
• Sloping ground (panels adapt in steps)

Less suitable for: Rustic or traditional settings, very tight budgets, full DIY without metalworking tools.

6 GABION FENCE

Steel mesh cages filled with stone. Striking, massive and exceptionally long-lasting — doubles as a noise barrier and landscape feature.

Best for:

• Statement boundary and feature walls
• Noise and wind barriers
• Retaining walls on sloping plots
• Natural, rugged landscaping

Less suitable for: Narrow spaces (wide footprint), tight budgets, sites with poor stone access.

7 CONCRETE PANEL FENCE

Precast concrete panels slotted into grooved posts. Fast to erect and solid as masonry — a cost-effective route to a full privacy wall.

Best for:

• Solid privacy and security boundaries
• Noise reduction along roads
• Quick installation without wet masonry
• Long, straight runs at low cost per metre

Less suitable for: Decorative front gardens, sites needing a lightweight fence, very uneven ground.
