Fencing clever
Fences are the obvious choice for defining your garden's boundaries, and there's a great range of fencing panels and posts in our garden centre to do just that.
But that's just one of the dozens of different ways fences can transform your garden. Here are a few more:
- Dividers: Create an air of mystery and make your garden seem larger than it really is by baffling the views so you can't see it all at once: choose light, airy fences like high scalloped pickets.
- Defining spaces: low fences are great for marking out areas like a vegetable patch. Choose from woven willow hurdles, bamboo screening or log uprights.
- Designer statements: sometimes fences are striking features in their own right. Horizontal slats are ultra-modern, while low picket fences give a softer cottage garden look.
- Screens: oil tanks and rubbish bins magically vanish behind fencing screens. You'll need a solid fence: a shadow box (two pickets behind each other) adds texture and plants grow up easily.
- Plant supports trellis-style fences, either openwork or a shiplap panel topped with trellis, support your plants and create a beautiful vertical backdrop.
Please ask the staff in our garden centre in Athlone for more information and advice about fencing your garden.
