With the right fencing, you can maximise security, improve safety and elevate the look of your home.

The majority of garden fences in the UK are constructed of timber, yet you can also discover a wide range of metal fencing too. Steel and wrought iron are two of the most popular materials used. Wrought iron is more naturally resistant to shock and vibration, yet it can be prone to rust (if it’s not well-maintained), but both materials can provide strength, durability and style. With metal fencing becoming increasingly popular, we’ve highlighted some of the key advantages:

 

Ornate designs

Metal fences are available in a wide variety of styles, from classic intricate designs to more contemporary, streamlined appearances. You can, therefore, strike a bliss contrast between beautiful brickwork wall with heavy textures and smooth metal fencing.

 

Maximise security

There are many ways to heighten security, but there’s no physical deterrent quite like metal fencing. If you combine quality fencing with driveway gates or side gates to completely seal off access, you’re able to prevent trespassers and opportunistic burglars from getting close to your property.

 

Improve safety

Safety is often a key consideration when buying metal fences. You can invest in metal fencing to prevent pets and young children from straying away from the property. Once installed, most parents and pet owners feel more relaxed, knowing there’s a clear barrier.

 

Rigorous Durability

Metal fences last longer than timber fences, especially when they have been periodically stained, sealed or repainted. Timber fences can often lose battles to infestations, but metal fencing is more resistant, maintain their rigid appearance without bending to one side or the other.

 

Recyclability

If you ever decide to make changes to your property or wish to install some new fences, the metal in your old fence can be completely recycled. This not only reduces pollution, but saves resources, and minimises the amount of waste going to landfills.

 

Ease of Maintenance

We’ve touched on this slightly, but it’s worth pointing out that even wrought iron requires very little maintenance. You can easily prevent rust by cleaning and painting the metal fence rails. Even if you do notice spots of rust beginning to form you can remove the rust and treat the metal, keeping your fencing in tip-top condition.

 

Price

Though price shouldn’t necessarily be the main factor when choosing to fence your home, it makes sense to find the best possible deal. Fortunately, metal fencing doesn’t have to cost a fortune, and you can discover a wide variety of designs in our collection – all at terrific prices.
