Garden fencing in West Wickham
West Wickham gardens are generous and open, which is lovely to sit in and hard on fencing. The right garden fence here balances privacy against wind.
Privacy without building a sail
A solid 1.8m boundary right across an open garden takes the full force of the wind. Two alternatives work better: hit-and-miss boarding, which screens from straight on but lets air through, and a solid fence to 1.5m with a slatted or trellis top section.
Both reduce the load on posts significantly, and both look more considered than a plain panel run.
Practical details for family gardens
Gravel boards to close the gap at the base, no protruding fixings at child height, and a self-closing side gate latch if you have a dog. These cost very little at installation and are awkward to add later.
