Garden Gates Blogs

An easy way of improving the appearance of your home is by having an attractive garden gate to welcome visitors. Low level front garden gates can add character and originality to the entrance of your home in a rural or town situation. AVS Fencing stocks a variety of low level timber and metal gates. Our ranges of black metal gates are available in a variety of decorative designs and heights, to suit all specifications.

If you prefer a more rustic appearance for your garden, choose from one of our timber gates, which will blend in with the natural surroundings. For side path gates, tall closeboard or lap gates are ideal and will match the panel fencing equivalent.

When measuring the size of the gate you need remember to allow for a tolerance between the gate and the post. This is normally about 15 – 20mm overall to ensure the gate will open and close easily. If you need the gate to be attached to a wall than use a wall plate, purchasable from AVS Fencing.

For more information on gate fittings, call your nearest branch for helpful and friendly advice. 

It is thanks to Eric Pickles who suspended the Home Information Packs (HIPs) which has prevented a slump in an already fragile housing market. According to Rightmove.co.uk, the new government decision has actually increased 22% of sellers coming into the market. This is therefore having a direct impact on average notional price increases in the housing market.

With this excellent news at our fingertips, now is the time to add some extra value onto your property, by creating that dream garden. Improving your garden can add 10% to the value of your property. AVS Fencing Supplies have a huge range of materials to 'add' that something special.

Why not add some decking, trellising or even some railway sleepers? Railway sleepers also make great raised bed walls. Or perhaps you may want to improve your kerb appeal? Try some of our garden or driveway gates. We have a range of metal gates and timber gates.

The installation of fencing and landscaping products is not a 100% exact science and as such customers all have different requirements. AVS Fencing Supplies realise this and we therefore, offer a workshop service on a range of products including the making of gates & trellis, as well as the morticing and topping of fence posts.

Our workshop service has had fantastic feedback and is offered for a small cost, with a slight extension of normal delivery times as we put the products through our on site workshops.  For more information please call us to discuss your individual needs 0800 288 8324.
