What Is Wooden Fencing?
Wooden fencing consists of timber structures designed to enclose or delineate an outdoor area. At Woodland Gates, we use a variety of timber types, such as cedar and oak, to create durable and attractive fences.
These timbers are chosen for their resistance to weather and insects, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance. Our fences can be customised with finishes like stains or paints, enhancing weather resistance and personalising appearance.
Wooden fencing can add a natural look to any property, offering both privacy and security. Whether you require panels for residential gardens, paddock fencing for rural land, or noise-reducing barriers for commercial properties, our designs are versatile.
Installation typically involves posts set into the ground, supporting panels or rails, and is done following industry standards to ensure structural integrity. Get in touch to discuss how we can meet your fencing needs.
What Types of Wooden Fencing Are Available?
We offer several types of wooden fencing to cater to different needs and preferences, each using a variety of materials and designs to enhance your property's boundaries and style.
Panel Fencing: Prefabricated panels that provide a quick and easy installation. Often made from pressure-treated timber to resist decay, these panels are perfect for privacy and reduce noise pollution.
Post and Rail Fencing: A rustic style ideal for defining large areas. Constructed from hardy woods like chestnut or oak, this fencing type is often used for agricultural properties or equestrian paddocks.
Closeboard Fencing: Strong and durable, perfect for high-wind areas. Closeboard fencing typically uses featheredge boards attached to arris rails and is known for its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Picket Fencing: Decorative and charming, suitable for front gardens. Made from sustainable cedar or redwood, picket fencing adds curb appeal without obstructing views.
Our options allow you to select the right fencing for your specific requirements, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Get in touch to discuss your project needs.
What Does Wooden Fencing Suit?

We offer various styles, including traditional panel fences, picket fences, and lattice designs, each crafted to complement different architectural styles.
For commercial properties, wooden fencing can serve as both a security measure and a branding element when designed with customised logos or company colours. In rural settings, robust post and rail designs are highly effective for managing livestock, offering durability and ease of installation.

How Does Wooden Fencing Work?
Installing wooden fencing involves several key steps to ensure a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing result:
Site Survey: We assess your property to plan the fencing layout. This includes measuring the area, identifying potential obstacles, and ensuring compliance with local regulations and building codes.
Material Selection: Choose the timber and style best suited to your needs. We offer options like pressure-treated pine, cedar, and redwood, each with unique qualities and benefits. Factors such as resistance to weather and pests guide the selection process.
Preparation: Clear the site and mark out the fence line. Removing debris and vegetation ensures a clear path, while using tools like string lines and levels helps to mark straight and even lines.
Post Installation: Set fence posts securely in the ground. Using concrete for added stability, we dig post holes to a depth typically around a third of the total post length, ensuring robustness against wind and soil movement.
Panel Attachment: Attach the chosen fencing panels to the posts. We use galvanised nails or screws to prevent rusting and ensure durability.
Our attention to detail throughout this process ensures a fence that not only meets aesthetic expectations but is built to last. Contact us to discuss your specific fencing needs today!
How Long Does Wooden Fencing Take?
Most wooden fencing projects at Woodland Gates take between two to five days, depending on the size and complexity of the installation. We begin with a thorough site assessment to determine the ideal placement and any potential obstacles such as underground utilities.
The process includes site preparation, post setting, and panel installation. For post setting, we use concrete to secure them firmly, which typically requires 24 hours to cure adequately.
We then proceed to install the fence panels, using durable timber like cedar or pressure-treated pine for longevity and resistance to weather. During this time, we ensure that the site is left tidy and that the fence is constructed to a high standard, adhering to any local building regulations.
Our experienced team is committed to delivering a fence that not only enhances your property's aesthetics but also provides the security and privacy you desire. Contact us to discuss your wooden fencing needs and schedule a consultation.
