Garden fencing?

Lally

Can anyone recommend any good sites for garden fencing? I have googled and found a few but I am suprised at how expensive it is. And we have a very large garden so it all helps.

Check out your local timber merchants, that where the trade go.

Will do, thanks!
Should I go for the less well known ones?

would you consider bamboo screening? This is a lot cheaper than fencing

what sort of fencing do you want?
basic fence panels & posts, from wickes, are hard to beat for price.

Some saw mills also supply fencing so maybe cheaper

Bamboo screening is great. Until you get anything more than a breeze. After which you'll find your bamboo screening about 2 miles up the road.

Something strong, we don't want to have to redo it. And I have a toddler who is into climbing so it needs to be strong for that reason also.

We have a row of these in our garden :-

they are a lovely looking product, they were just put in by the neighbour before we moved in.

I was thinking about giving them a treatment soon, but then read on the website because they are pressure treated they dont need treating and have a 15yr guarantee against rot.

I would normally buy cheapest (had very bad experiences with Wickes Premium Fence Panels), but now thinking about overall cost etc think I would pay the extra for these. I think you can get them for about £50 a panel, but then factor back out the cost of fence treatment products over 15 years and the labour involved in doing every couple of years and I reckon they might work out to be a bargain !
