Garden Fencing in Atherton, Wigan

Not all fences are created equal, and picking the right one depends on what you need most. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option to tidy up your perimeter, our Waney Lap (or Larch Lap) panels are a classic choice for a neat, horizontal finish. However, if you're after something heavy-duty that can take a battering from the wind, we usually recommend Closeboard or Feather Edge fencing. These use thick, vertical overlapping boards that provide incredible strength. Want something a bit more decorative? Picket fencing is perfect for front gardens to define your space without blocking the view, while Hit and Miss designs are brilliant for windier spots in Atherton because they allow the air to flow right through the panels instead of pushing them over.

Why do some fences last decades while others rot away in five years? It usually comes down to what’s touching the wet ground. In our damp North West climate, timber absorbs moisture like a sponge. That’s why we always recommend using concrete gravel boards at the base of your panels. These act as a protective barrier between the soil and the wood, preventing rot before it even starts. We also offer a choice between traditional timber posts or ultra-durable concrete posts. Every piece of timber we use is pressure-treated (Tanalised) to ensure it's protected against insects and decay. We don't just 'pop' posts in the ground either; we use high-quality Post Mix to ensure everything is rock-solid and perfectly level.

Most homeowners we speak to dread the mess and the 'what do I do with the old stuff?' part of a garden project. When you hire Insight PS, you don't have to worry about a thing. Our fencing installation service includes clearing away your old, broken panels and disposing of them responsibly as licensed waste carriers. From the initial chat to the final sweep of the site, we treat your home with respect. Have a tricky slope or an awkward corner? Our team specialises in bespoke fitting, tailoring every panel to follow the natural contours of your land. We can even install matching garden gates to complete the look and keep your property secure.
