When looking to replace fence panels in your garden there are various factors consider before making your purchase. It’s quite easy to rush into things choosing fencing panels which don’t suit your garden or will need replacing again in two to three years. But taking your time to consider the following will ensure you can enjoy a great looking fence that will also last for many years.
Garden Fence Purpose
The first factor to consider when choosing fencing panels is the purpose of your fence. Are you simply replacing a broken fence at minimal cost or are you looking for a fence that offers you maximum privacy? For privacy you will require a fence that is higher than a tall person’s eye line. We’re not suggesting your neighbours will be peeking over your fence but any lower than the odd glance is inevitable.
Do you want a fence that simply serves a purpose or do you want it to be decorative or at least easy on the eye? If you have children you’ll likely want a fence that will withstand the odd hit from a football or crash from a bike.
Fence Panel Size & Cost
The next thing to think about is the size of your garden and how many fence panels it will take to completely fill the perimeter of your garden. Measure your garden accurately, check it and then check it again. The last thing you want when choosing fencing is to have to buy additional panels or worse still, find out that there are none left of the style you have used. With the size of your garden measured out, you’ll know how many of a certain panel you’ll need and how much it will cost to complete the job in your chosen panel.
Appearance
Let’s be honest, appearance should probably be top of the list. Our home is a place where we sit back and relax; forgetting about the stresses of work and enjoy complete comfort. To do that, our home has to look and feel the way we want it to. There are various different styles of fence panel. You might choose a modern, clean style that will compliment a simpler minimalist garden. Alternatively you might prefer a rustic style fence panel with a rougher finish.
After deciding on the overall style, the next step is to choose the colour or tone you want your fence panels to be finished in. Not only is this a way to add colour to your garden but it will also protect them and ensure they last for many years.
