Bespoke garden fencing for Hampshire properties

We specialise in contemporary and traditional garden fencing tailored to your property. Firstly, our architectural fencing includes woven steel – a modern alternative to traditional timber that lasts 30+ years with no maintenance. Secondly, we create slatted steel fencing in various finishes for contemporary aesthetics. Additionally, we offer comprehensive timber fencing solutions for every style and budget.

Materials and finishes

Our metal fencing options include mild steel and corten steel which weather naturally to rich auburn tones. Alternatively, stainless steel and galvanised steel provide permanent silver finishes. Furthermore, we work with treated timber, composite materials, and custom designs. Moreover, we design and install matching gates to complement your fencing perfectly. Consequently, every installation is tailored to your property’s character, providing boundaries that combine practical function with distinctive design.

Expert garden fencing built for longevity

Every fencing project we undertake benefits from careful planning and quality installation. Initially, we assess your site’s boundaries, levels, and specific requirements. Subsequently, we recommend appropriate materials, heights, and styles suited to your property and preferences.

Woven and slatted steel specialists

We’re particularly experienced with architectural steel fencing. For instance, woven steel offers exceptional longevity – over 30 years with zero maintenance required. Additionally, it allows wind to pass through, making it ideal for exposed locations where solid fencing would catch wind. Meanwhile, slatted steel creates contemporary screening with clean lines and various spacing options. Furthermore, all our steel fencing is properly prepared and installed with appropriate posts and fixings. As a result, your fencing maintains its structure and appearance through Hampshire weather while requiring minimal ongoing attention.

Garden fencing: Your questions answered

Planning new garden fencing or replacing existing boundaries? Here are answers to common questions about our garden fencing installation services.

Most garden fencing doesn’t require planning permission under permitted development rights. However, there are important restrictions. For instance, fencing along boundaries with highways or public footpaths is limited to 1 metre high. Meanwhile, fencing elsewhere in your garden can be up to 2 metres high without permission. Nevertheless, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, you’ll likely need permission for any fencing changes. Additionally, covenants or local restrictions may apply. Therefore, we recommend checking the UK Government planning portal for specific guidance. We’re happy to advise on your particular situation.

Longevity varies significantly by material. For example, treated softwood timber typically lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance. In contrast, hardwood can last 25+ years. Meanwhile, composite fencing offers 25-30 year lifespans with minimal maintenance. However, our woven and slatted steel fencing significantly outlasts timber options – mild steel and CORTEN steel last 30+ years with no maintenance required. Similarly, stainless and galvanised steel offer exceptional longevity. Consequently, while steel has higher initial costs, it eliminates replacement and maintenance expenses over decades.

Woven steel offers several distinct advantages over traditional timber. Firstly, it requires zero maintenance – no painting, staining, or treatment ever needed. Secondly, it lasts 30+ years compared to timber’s 15-20 year typical lifespan. Additionally, woven steel allows wind to pass through its structure, preventing the wind-catch issues solid fencing experiences. Furthermore, it naturally weathers to beautiful auburn tones (mild steel/corten) or maintains permanent silver finishes (stainless/galvanised). However, woven steel has higher upfront costs. We’ll discuss your priorities and budget to determine if woven steel suits your project. For more details, see our dedicated woven steel fencing page.

Absolutely. Indeed, we design and install matching gates as part of most fencing projects. For instance, woven steel fencing can incorporate woven steel gates in matching finishes. Similarly, timber fencing includes gates in matching materials and styles. Additionally, we handle all gate hardware, posts, and hinges to ensure smooth operation and longevity. Furthermore, we can create pedestrian gates, vehicle gates, or both depending on your access requirements.

Boundary fencing requires careful consideration of both legal and practical aspects. Initially, we recommend confirming boundary locations and discussing plans with neighbours where appropriate. Generally, if you’re replacing existing fencing on your property, you can proceed. However, if installing new fencing on a boundary, it’s courteous to inform neighbours. Additionally, fencing etiquette traditionally means the “good side” faces outward, though this isn’t legally required. We’re experienced in handling boundary situations sensitively and can advise on your specific circumstances.

Maintenance depends entirely on your material choice. For timber fencing, annual treatment with preservatives or stains is essential to maintain protection and appearance. Additionally, checking and tightening fixings, replacing damaged boards, and clearing vegetation extends lifespan. Conversely, our woven and slatted steel fencing requires virtually no maintenance – it naturally weathers and needs no treatment. Meanwhile, composite fencing requires occasional cleaning but no treatment. We’ll provide specific maintenance guidance based on your chosen materials during installation.
