Firstly ask yourself, what is your fencing for? What purpose will it serve? Here are some reasons you might have for investing in new fencing.

To keep intruders out.
Aesthetically Pleasing - Picket Fences
These are neat, evenly spaced and look good. You won’t get any privacy with this type of fencing, but they set do a boundary and help make your property look really good. They’re also good for children and larger pets, helping to keep them in, however smaller pets, like small dogs, may get out underneath the fencing by digging their way out! Picket fences are usually made of wood but you can get them in PVC too.
Privacy Garden Fencing
If you’re looking for privacy then try overlapping garden fencing panels or golden dipped garden fencing panels. You’ll find that feather edge panels and treated close board panels also make great fencing that not only gives you privacy, but helps with noise reduction too.
Security Garden Fencing – Trellis and Trellis Topped
If you’re looking for security and you want to keep intruders out then a fence that’s topped with a trellis or a trellis fence works well, and helps prevent anyone from thinking about trying to climb over it. You could always try putting something on top of the trellis fence that adds a further deterrent, climbing plants are one option, especially those that have thorns.
Wind Breaker Garden Fencing
If you live in a windy area you might be looking for a fence that can break the strength of the wind as it reaches your property. Hazel and willow are both effective at this and allow some wind in, but reduces the stronger elements of it. It’s a little better than a solid fence because it hinders its progress. There are different types of these to choose from and this type of fencing come with gaps, specifically designed to act as wind breakers.
