A FENCE FOR EVERY NEED
Fences come in a variety of styles, heights and designs and most have they're pros & cons, but also different fences are best for certain areas;
for example, a garden that has alot of cross wind would be best suited to have a hit and miss style fence where the wind is allowed to pass through and so the full brunt of the wind is weakened which will in turn put less stress on the fence and give it the best possible life span.
​
Another type of fence that has been around for a while now is featheredge fencing, sometimes referred to as closeboard fencing.
the beauty of this fence is that where as a fence panel is made of small battens that are nailed together to create a frame and the thin boards sit between these battons, a featheredge fence is a much more robust, heavy duty type of fence that is built from 100x50mm timber horizontal rails fixed to the posts and then the feathedge boards are fixed to these. We have taken down these type of fences that have been standing for 28 YEARS!! The proof is in the pudding.

Below is small sample of fence styles that are readily available and can either be supplied or installed at competitive prices.

Fence panels have been around for donkeys years. They do the job, and are probably the cheapest type of fencing available. They are built using 30mm battons nailed together with the thin boards sandwiched between. A good point to note about these panels is both sides of the fence look the same so is perfect for a neighbours divide. Prices start from £19.95 for a 1.83x0.6m panel up to £29.50 for a 1.83x1.83m panel.
Featheredge Fencing is a much more robust type of fence. It's framework is much more stronger compared to panels, and has a couple of major bonus point worth noting: - Can be made to any height - Can follow ground levels as its not a square structure. Prices for a bespoke featheredge fence in Bristol start at £45 per metre. Featheredge fence panels are also available and these start at £33 per panel.
This type of fencing is ideal in areas where there is a cross wind. The framework is the same as a featheredge fence, but the boards are fixed both sides of the fence in an alternating fashion. This allows wind to pass through. which in turns puts less stress on th whole fence. A bonus is that both sides of the fence have the same view. It does cost slightly more than other types of fencing but we think this is a solid good looking fence which can be built to any height you require.
