The benefits of fencing

From rustic fence panels to willow hurdles, there’s a huge choice of styles and sizes available. But do you really need to put up a fence in the first place? The answer to that is generally yes, and here are some of the reasons why.

A fence around a front garden offers numerous benefits, not least of which is better security for your home. It keeps dogs out of your garden and provides a secure place for play, and some privacy for relaxation. It will also help to keep young children safe from the dangers of traffic on the road.

The back of your house can be vulnerable in terms of security, and fencing offers an additional deterrent. If you own a much-loved dog, a fence will prevent it from roaming and getting lost or stolen. It also provides privacy if you’re socialising or simply enjoying the sun.
