Planning a fence, or a deck, is one thing. Transferring these plans into reality can be another matter.

Timing is everything

Planning a new fence is often taken out of or hands by the weather - weeks of wet-weather followed by a big storm leaves many a garden exposed. Here at Southern Timber we can offer solutions off the shelf, with a choice of fence panel styles and sizes. Timing can be an issue, but our experienced staff can help - advice on the options of ready-made fencing panels or maybe a component fence featuring featheredge slats, round-top pales or square edge slats.

Nobody can plan precisely for the demise of an existing garden fence, but we do our best by keeping large stocks of fencing panels and posts. Fencing stocks are kept at our Newton Abbot base, conveniently located for Exeter, Plymouth and South Hams customers.       

 

Bespoke fences using timber

Fence panels can be relatively quick to install - make a line, dig post holes, add posts and secure panels. However, gardens are often irregular plots with a smattering of features - garage, greenhouse and garden shed spring to mind. Invariably at least one of these will be situated on the fence border. Using off the shelf panels can prove both time consuming and expensive.  

Featheredge components have traditionally been been the go-to product for irregular shaped and odd sized fences. Increasingly tradesman have turned to timber pales, wooden slats and battens.
