Garden Fencing Ideas: Where To Start
Finding the right garden fence isn’t always as simple as it sounds. You might start off just wanting something tidy and practical, but then you see all the different styles, shapes, and materials — and suddenly it’s a bit much.
We’re local fencers here in Aberdeen, and we get it. People come to us with all sorts of ideas — sometimes clear, sometimes not sure at all. Maybe you just want a basic fence to keep the dog in. Maybe it’s about privacy from the neighbours. Or maybe you’re after something that’ll actually make the garden look better. Whatever it is, we’ll help you figure it out.
We’ll chat with you, walk through a few options, and see what fits your space and your budget. Some fences are built to last through wild weather. Some are better for climbing plants. Some just look good and don’t make things feel boxed in. No pressure, no jargon — just honest advice based on what you need.
Everyone’s garden is different, and the best fence for you depends on how you use your space. We’ll help you make sense of it without overcomplicating things.
Have a look below at a few ideas that are popular across the UK and Scotland right now. And if you’d rather talk it through, give us a ring. We’re happy to chat, and we’ll give you a no-obligation quote if you want one.
Fence Types
-
Picket FencesList Item 1
Picket fences are great if you want something simple, neat, and not too tall. They’re often used in front gardens or around play areas because they mark out space without blocking the view. People usually ask if they’re strong enough — and yes, they are for everyday use, though they’re not made for full privacy or heavy security. You can paint or stain them to suit your home, and they’re easy to repair if a panel ever gets damaged.
-
Wooden FencesList Item 2
Wooden fences are a solid choice if you want something that looks good and does the job. There’s loads of styles to pick from — tall for privacy, lower ones for boundaries, plain or decorative. People often ask how long they last. If you look after them with the right treatment now and then, they’ll last for years. They can handle the weather, but they do need a bit of care. Still, they’re easy to fix if a board goes loose or starts to wear.
-
Wrought Iron FencesList Item 3
Wrought iron fences are strong, long-lasting, and give a classic look, especially in older or more formal gardens. People often wonder if they rust — they can, but with a good paint finish and the odd touch-up, they’re easy to keep in shape. They’re not for privacy, but they’re perfect for security and style. You can get them in lots of designs, from simple bars to more decorative scrollwork, depending on your taste.
-
Chain Link FencesList Item 4
Chain link fences are a practical option if you need to mark out a space without spending a fortune. They’re often used in bigger gardens, around allotments, or where keeping pets in is the main goal. People sometimes ask if they’re ugly — they’re not fancy, but they can be neat and tidy, and you can grow plants along them if you like. They don’t offer much privacy, but they’re low-maintenance and do the job well.
