Garden Fencing in Altrincham, Trafford

Not all fences are created equal, especially when you're trying to match the character of a Victorian terrace or a modern family home. If you want something heavy-duty, close board fencing (or feather edge) is often the best choice. It’s incredibly strong because the vertical boards overlap, creating a solid barrier that’s perfect for privacy and security. On the other hand, if you live in a particularly breezy spot near the M60 corridor, you might want to consider hit and miss fencing. This clever design allows the wind to pass through the panels, which means they’re far less likely to act like a sail and blow over during a winter storm. We also offer traditional picket fencing for front gardens and trellis tops for that extra bit of decorative flair.

One of the most common questions we get asked is: "Should I go for timber or concrete posts?" There's no right or wrong answer, it just depends on what you're after. Concrete posts and gravel boards are the gold standard for longevity. Since the wood isn't touching the damp Trafford soil, it won't rot away at the base. However, if you prefer a more natural, seamless look, we can use high-quality pressure-treated timber posts. Every piece of wood we use is tanalised to resist insects and decay. We also use rapid-setting post mix to ensure everything is set deep and stays level, so you won't be dealing with leaning boundaries in six months' time.
