Gardeners often find themselves at a loss when it comes to replacing their timber garden fencing. This is because the quality of timber garden fencing is so good that gardeners seldom have to replace them. It can be even trickier if the garden came to them with property that already has the timber garden fencing.
There are three main types of timber garden fencing that gardeners can choose from. The choices that the gardener makes are going to come down to what they want and need for their garden. Perhaps they want something more decorative, or perhaps they want privacy or perhaps they want a little of both. The two are not mutually exclusive, and sometimes hiring fencing services can help the gardener get exactly what they want.
One type of garden fencing that is particularly decorative is picket fencing. This type of fence looks great but does not provide much privacy. In any case, the gardener can construct it themselves, or they can have fencing services build and install it for them. Common picket designs are round top, pointed topped, chisel top and square top. If the fence is glossed white to finish this will look wonderful, but the timber may not hold up well under the finish.
Panel fencing is good for privacy, but may not look as nice. For many gardeners this is not really an issue, for their primary concern is privacy over decoration. What is nice about this style is its ability to be constructed on a tight budget. Plus, it is a style that has been in use in Europe for quite some time. While this style is not necessarily the most decorative, that does not mean that it cannot be made to have decorative aspects. When it is built from quality timber and maybe built a bit high, it can take on a nice, decorative look while also providing the desired privacy.
Finally, close board fencing offers both privacy and decorative style both in equal measures. The style of construction is wedge profile boards perpendicularly overlapped all along the extent of the fence. Heights generally range to as high as 3 metres. Because of the overlapping boards and the height of the fence privacy is virtually ensured. The overlapping boards also offer a wonderful aesthetic that is pleasing to the eyes.
In short, choosing the right timber garden fencing is going to come down to what the person wants and needs. While for many all they want is a nice decorative fence, others see that as unnecessary and opt for something strictly utilitarian. Other still will opt for both, as they fancy a nice aesthetic but also value utility at the same time.
