Garden Fencing in Knutsford, Cheshire East

Not all fences are created equal, especially when you're dealing with the wind that whips across the Cheshire plains. If you're looking for something that won't budge, our heavy-duty Closeboard or Feather Edge fencing is a fantastic shout. These vertical overlapping boards are incredibly strong and offer total privacy. On the other hand, if you've got a particularly breezy garden, you might want to consider 'Hit and Miss' fencing. It's a clever design that lets the wind pass through the gaps while still keeping your garden private—meaning your fence is much less likely to act like a sail and blow over in a gale. We also supply traditional Waney Lap panels for a classic look, or pretty Picket fencing to add a bit of kerb appeal to your front garden.

Why do some fences rot away in a few years while others stay solid for a decade? It usually comes down to the quality of the wood and how it's been treated. We only use pressure-treated, or 'tanalised', timber. This means the preservative is forced deep into the wood grain, protecting it from rot and nasty insect attacks for much longer than the cheap stuff you might find elsewhere. We also highly recommend using concrete gravel boards at the base. These sit between the damp ground and your wooden panels, acting as a barrier that prevents moisture from soaking into the timber. It's a small detail that makes a massive difference to how many years you'll get out of your investment.

Most homeowners we speak to are worried about their fence leaning over after a bit of rain. That's why we don't take shortcuts with the groundwork. We dig deep, secure every post with high-quality post-mix concrete, and ensure everything is perfectly level. If your existing posts are still solid but the fence is leaning, we can often use concrete spurs to reinforce them, saving you the cost of a full replacement. From awkward slopes to bespoke gaps that need a custom-fit panel, we've seen it all in our 25 years. We'll make sure the finish is seamless and follows the natural line of your garden perfectly.
