Wooden Fencing

Timber continues to be the most widely used material for fence panels but there are many different varieties and choosing the right one or ones can impact the frame for your garden.

When it comes to wooden fence panel quality the first aspect to check is that the panel has been pressure treated, sometimes referred to as being tanalised timber. Protective wood chemicals and preserves are applied to the wood under pressure which means that the protective chemicals go right through the wood and as a result provide significantly better protection to you fence panel than having no treatment or simply being dip treated. the difference between pressure and dip treatment will not be obvious to the eye but will be more obvious in the potential price of fence panels or for a full fence. Whenever we install wooden fencing we will only use pressure treated panels. Whilst many suppliers will state that you can get away without treating your panels for over five years it is good practice to try and apply additional protection every few years which could see your fence lasting up to 15 years.

Wood will inevitably weather and rot due to its natural composition and therefore many wooden fences will be installed into concrete posts with a concrete gravel board resting on the ground at the bottom of the post with the wooden fence panel sitting on top of it. The concrete gravel boards will protect your fence panels from damp of the ground and the and concrete posts will be much more tolerant and sturdy fixing - especially against high winds. Some people will want to stick to wooden posts and panels all round due to the preferred aesthetics of an all wooden fence. However, the use of composite posts and a composite panel acting as a gravel board can provide a good alternative option.

When it comes to wooden fencing there are many types such as:

- Feather edge panels
- Closed board panel
- Hit & miss Fencing
- Slatted Fencing
- Woven Fencing
- Picket Fencing

Each of these can often come with straight edging or an arched top and also include some trellis at the top too. Full trellised fence panels can often work will to provide internal fencing or sectioning within a landscape project as they can become a living fence with climbers and plants weaving into them whilst allowing some light to pass through too.

We can discuss and recommend a fence panel style that will complement your garden design

Composite Fencing Installers

Many more people are choosing composite fencing for their gardens. It's easy to see why as they require little to no maintenance, can come in a variety of colours and are naturally much more resistant to dirt and algae build up. They are almost always chosen for a contemporary garden design with grey being the most popular colour, often matching composite decking.

As mentioned earlier it can be a little frustrating having a mix of fence types if you are not initially budgeting to install a new fence which is the responsibility of the neighbour but it is always worth having a quick discussion with them to see if they may want to contribute to a new composite fence, rather than installing an additional fence inside theirs - as it will clearly also provide benefits to them.

There is a variety of composite fences and sometimes UPVC or plastic fencing are also interchanged freely when talking about alternatives to wooden fence panels. The subtle difference between composite and PVC is that a composite panel will have a very small percentage of fine wood fibre mixed in with the PVC whereas a full plastic fence will not. In reality there is little difference in the performance of each but composite is by for the more popular with more wood effect designs available.

Some composite panels can slot into existing concrete post either directly or with an adaptor whilst others will only fit into their matching posts which will mostly have a composite outer layer around a steel or aluminium core to provide similar, and sometimes even better, strength to a concrete post.

We can suggest a number of different composite fencing options and are competent in installing them all.

Frequently Asked Questions about Garden Fencing

  • Why choose DNA Landscapes for my garden fencing work?

    Here at DNA Landscapes Coventry, the team has many years of experience in installing fences using a variety of materials. From traditional timber to contemporary composites and aluminium.

    We work closely with local and national merchants, with whom we have built relationships, to source quality products and keep up to date with the latest products and installation methods.

  • Is composite fencing worth the cost?

    Our short answer would be yes.

    To compare: Composite panels are tested to very high wind exposures. The cost of labour and materials for annual wood preservation or staining maintenance should be considered. The colour and style range of composites raises the bar as regards aesthetics, catering to traditional/rustic and contemporary designs. Composite fencing even helps to keep the neighbours happy as composite, unlike timber, can be patterned on both sides. Most composites are made up of recycled timber and plastic making them an eco-friendly product and coming with residential warranties of 25 years and commercial 10 years. Average prices per metre for supply and fit :

    • Timber £85 per metre
    • Composites £130 per metre

    Around a 50% price difference plus disposal of the old fence if required.

  • What is the trending colour for composite fencing?

    It should come as no surprise that grey is the colour in favour, from light and mid-greys to anthracite. Remember fashion comes and goes and personal preference is the most important factor.

  • What does DNA Landscaping recommend for treating timber fence panels?

    Following UK guidelines all preservatives will have similar formulas and most work well. Ronseal and Cuprinol are the products we would use and recommend. Whether you want to simply use a

    preserve, keep the natural timber colour, or stain with a colour of choice these products will help

    to protect against burrowing insects and fungi. In addition, a top coat of oil, varnish or wood paint

    can be applied. I would recommend applying some kind of preserve every 12 months to keep your timber healthy and looking in top condition.
