Choosing the Right Fence for Your South Wales Garden
Selecting the ideal fence for your garden isn’t just about appearance—it’s also about function, privacy, and longevity. At A1 Orchard Landscaping, we’ve helped hundreds of customers across South Wales choose the perfect fence to suit their needs and style.
Below, we break down the most popular garden fencing types and how to decide which is best for your property.
Popular Types of Garden Fencing
Feather Edge Fencing
A strong, durable choice offering great privacy. Ideal for most gardens across South Wales where weather protection and security are important.
Panel Fencing
Easy to install and available in various decorative styles. Great for tidy boundaries and fast installation.
Closeboard Fencing
Similar to feather edge but even more robust. Suitable for larger gardens or exposed sites where wind is an issue.
Post and Rail
Traditional, open fencing style perfect for rural or countryside gardens. Not ideal for privacy but works well with planting or hedging.
Trellis Toppers
Add visual appeal and height without blocking light—great for climbing plants and decorative borders.
What to Consider When Choosing a Fence
- Privacy: Choose tall, solid fences like feather edge or closeboard for maximum privacy.
- Security: Solid fencing deters intruders better than decorative options.
- Wind Exposure: Slatted or semi-open fencing is better for windy gardens.
- Maintenance: Pressure-treated timber lasts longer. Concrete posts reduce long-term upkeep.
- Budget: Panel fencing tends to be more affordable, while closeboard offers better durability over time.
