Why choose a fence instead of a wall?

If you need to section a part of your garden off or you simply need to replace the current support, be it wall or fence, which of the two is the best? In this post, we’re going to be discussing why fence installation is always the better option when looking to sectioning off parts of your property. If you want to find out why, just read on and you’ll see just a few of the reasons why we think a fencing is the first choice every time.

Putting up your fence or wall, preservatives and saving time and money

Yes, a brick wall is very strong but it’s expensive, and you need a professional to make sure it’s built properly, you’ll also need professional help to repair it, and even if you do it yourself, it’ll be expensive. With garden fencing, however, repairs can be done inexpensively. You can also put them up yourself too, with a reasonable chance of success. You can buy preservatives from good DIY stores, so it’s easy enough to treat your wooden fencing yourself too.

The versatility of fencing is unbeatable in comparison to brick walls

Garden fencing is available in different styles and finishes which you won’t get with a conventional wall. There’s a good chance you’ll find a fence to suit your budget too. If you have a trellis fence or just a panel, then you can add climbing plants which add an attractive feature to your garden. Fencing and be adapted to suit your garden and your property as the choices of styles, finishes and colours are so versatile. You can also paint or stain your fence and again, there’s plenty of choice.

Quick installation

Garden fences can be installed quite quickly as opposed to a conventional wall. Garden walls on the other hand require much more work and take more time as a result. On a practical level, concrete needs time to set.

Wood - sustainable and kind to the environment

And if you care about the environment, then you’ll be pleased to know that garden fencing uses a sustainable material – wood. Yes, wood can be replaced without harm to the environment, and due to the production techniques, it remains sustainable long after it’s of no further use. Bricks however, are not sustainable, so if you are environmentally aware, then a wall may not be for you.
