AVS Fencing Supplies are proud to introduce our new St Melior Fence Panel!

We are stocking this exciting eye-catching item in two sizes: 1.8M x 1.8M and 1.8M x 1.05M.

This exciting addition to our Grange Fencing range means it now compliments our already fantastic St Melior Lattice which is already a classic Grange product, due to its high quality and affordable price.

A little bit about lattice design

Lattice design is prominent in Asia and can be made from wood, stone or metal. Lattice design can be used as window or room divider. Lattice design windows are good for letting a mixture of sunlight and cool air enter a room, and at the same time casting lovely intricate patterned shadows.

Lattice design can even be edible, in the form of pastry lattice design on the top of your tarts using strips of dough. You can even buy lattice pastry cutters.

If you can't afford to get to Asia to see some lovely lattice design. Then AVS Fencing will bring a little Asia to you in the form of our  St Melior Lattice. Now you can reduce your carbon footprint at the same time!

So what are you waiting for? View or buy this brand new addition to our Grange Fence panel range on either our easy to use website, over the phone, or in one of our eight branches who are already serving our huge customer base across the south east.

According to www.thisisnottingham.co.uk, Sue Thompson is a resident of Lark Hill Retirement Village, and she is quite right to feel proud of her award-winning winter garden in this year's East midlands neighbourhood category of Nottingham in Bloom.

Sue and a group of residents worked together to create this award-winning garden, which in turn helped to make the residential home a better place to live. Mrs Thompson explained “The gardens have helped break down barriers and were a conversation starter”.

What makes a winter garden special?

Any garden can be winter garden if it appears to stand out and look beautiful at a time when everything else in the winter landscape is dull, plain and brown is outstanding alone.

A new charity called Gardening Leave, has announced that they are going to help war veterans dig for victory by increasing their participation in more gardening activities. According to Anna Baker Cresswell, the charity’s chief executive: “It is a very simple concept. What the veterans get out of it is that they like to be together, they like to be outside, to have semi-structured activity in a safe, peaceful environment.”

Each passing month, the therapeutic benefits of being in the garden are becoming clearer and clearer. AVS Fencing Supplies want to encourage more people to take advantage of these therapeutic benefits by offering products and services to help you get the most out of your own garden experience. With the spending cuts announced by George Osborne this week, we could all do with a dose of theraputic therapy in our gardens!

Our products vary from railway sleepers, garden fencing and landscaping materials which can all be used to enhance your garden experience and add that spectacular feature to get the most out of your outside living space. Our green-fingered team at AVS Fencing Supplies are confident that you won’t be disappointed and you can start enjoying like others, the therapeutic benefits of being in your garden!  

Our good friends at the BBC have written an interesting article about the effects of gardening for children. Their report of 1,300 teachers and 10 schools indicated that children who were involved in gardening were more resilient, confident and most importantly, lived healthier lives. You can see the report by clicking here.

Dr Kroon comments on the importance of the research conclusion and hopes that the new coalition government consider this in their new approach to primary curriculum, by understanding the real benefits of having an ideal garden. The report said: "it encouraged pupils to become more active in solving problems, as well as boosting literacy and numeracy skills."

Perhaps we should also encourage the coalition government to build a garden in the Houses of Parliament to help them figure out how to reduce the deficit in a painless way – although we wouldn't want the cost being added to their expenses!

Like Dr Kroon, we at AVS want to inspire you to create a garden, whether as a family, or an individual, so you can start to enjoy the fruits of your labour. Our new Railway Sleepers are the ideal product to create a raised bed for vegetation. Or perhaps try or our Decking Ranges to enjoy at the end of the week for some much needed relaxation. Whatever you desire for that dream garden, here at AVS we try to provide you with all you need.

It's official! House prices are still rising according to the latest monthly survey from the Nationwide building society.

Therefore, you may think that now is a good time to sell your house. And this means that you should present your home in its best possible light, because you only get one chance to make a first impression. Don't forget that the outside of your house is as important as the inside – it's all about kerb appeal!

How is your front garden looking? Is your palisade fencing looking a little worse for wear? Or perhaps your front garden gate?

If your back garden is looking untidy, why not make it look slick by installing some of our low cost fence panels and trellis. Remember you have to spend money to make money!
