FENCING

Wood Fencing

Wood fencing as apposed to metal fencing is ideal for gardens because a wood fence will fit in with the surroundings and can usually provide privacy. A lot of wood fencing which is 1.8m high is designed with the wooden fencing boards overlapped so that one can’t see through the wood fencing. Choosing fence panels for your wooden fencing can be hard because AVS Fencing offers a great choice of wood fencing to choose from. At the basic level AVS Fencing have lap fence panels which are a wooden fencing panel 6ft wide available in a range of heights which may be fitted between wooden posts or concrete fencing posts. Just slightly more expensive are wooden closeboard fence panels, again these are 6ft wide and are a great fence panel if you are looking to build a wood fence.

Closeboard Fence Panel

You will notice that the closeboard fence panel is constructed from featheredge boards in the same manner as the traditional wooden fencing called closeboard fencing, which is assembled on site with the featheredge boards being fixed individually to wooden fencing rails. The closeboard fence panel however is quicker and easier to erect because the fence panels are pre-made and they can be fixed to wood fence posts or concrete fence posts.
Finally AVS have a range of continental style wooden fencing panels manufactured by Grange Fencing known as the Grange Elite range of panels, a very popular Grange Elite fencing panel is called the ‘St. Michel’ fence panel. This particular wood fencing panel has a lattice work section 300mm high above a solid wooden section of the fence panel, this wood fence panel curves upwards in the centre which is known as a convex curve. The Grange Elite range of decorative wooden fencing panels as the name suggests are a little more expensive than the basic closeboard wooden fencing or the lap panel wooden fencing. It is not just fence panels that form popular styles of wood fencing there is a wide range of trellis panels and wooden palisade fencing as well as the ever popular wooden closeboard fencing. I am asked do I need to treat my wood fence with preservative for wood fencing, the answer is it’s always useful to help to seal the timber by adding timber treatments to your new fencing but it is not essential. Dependant on the time of year when you fit your wooden fencing it may be appropriate to allow the wood fencing to dry out a little before painting it with timber preservative or fencing stain.

Wood Fence

A wood fence is lighter in weight than a metal fence or concrete fencing which makes it ideally suitable if your wood fence has to be carried around the side of the house and down to a back garden, so if your wooden fencing is being erected in your back garden and you don’t have a lot of access to take the new wood fencing you may want to steer away from the heavier concrete fencing posts and use wood fencing posts for your project.
