Garden Fences & Pickets

Fences and pickets protect boundaries, keep pets secure and define outdoor living areas. From classic timber pickets to modern composite panels and metal palisades, the right fence balances durability, privacy and visual appeal for your property.

Selecting the right fence for function

Decide if the priority is security, privacy or decoration. Tall panels and close‑board fences create privacy; spaced pickets provide visibility and charm. Material choices—pressure‑treated timber, cedar, metal or composite—affect lifespan, maintenance and cost. Consider post spacing, ground conditions and whether concrete footings or spike anchors suit your site.

Practical considerations and maintenance

• Check local regulations for permitted fence heights and boundary rules.
• Use corrosion‑resistant fixings and adequate posts for wind loads.
• Apply preservatives or stains to timber every few years to prevent rot.
• Inspect joints and gates regularly to keep security tight.
• Look for seasonal promotions or clearance panels when replacing larger sections to reduce costs.

Good planning makes installation smoother: measure boundaries, mark services and decide whether to hire professionals for complex terrain. Properly installed and maintained fencing protects your garden and adds lasting value to your home.
