Nothing finds out tired, old fencing like a storm so, bearing in mind the weather we’ve had lately, it’s no surprise that many people’s fence panels are currently lying on the ground in their gardens. And with well over a month of winter remaining, followed by the annual March winds, even those of you whose fence run has escaped unscathed may well be fearing the worst.
Anyway, enough of the doom and gloom, here’s some good news for you instead…
Whether you’re looking to replace fencing that’s already been damaged, take sensible preventative measures, or simply upgrade your existing fence run, you’re now in exactly the right place to do so. That’s because Buy Fencing Direct is Britain’s leading supplier of all things fencing.
Not only do we stock an unbeatable range of fence panels, we also sell a superb selection of fence posts, garden gates and other fencing supplies too – in short, everything you need for a storm-proof fence run.
Here’s a quick rundown of what we can offer you.
Fence Panels for Sale
Our top-quality fencing is available in all the popular designs and sizes. So, whether you’re after small 3ft fence panels for your front garden, full-size 6ft fence panels for the rear, or something in between the two, we have the fencing for you.
What’s more, all of our fence panels have been treated against rot and are supplied with long guarantees, so you can rest assured that they’ll remain in tip-top, storm-resistant condition for many years to come.
In terms of protection against rot, some of these fence panels are dip treated, which is a tried and tested method of prolonging the life of exterior wooden products. This fencing is supplied with an impressive 10-year anti-rot guarantee.
The rest of our fence panels are pressure treated, which provides them with the ultimate protection, with no further treatment required. All of our pressure-treated fencing comes with a superb 15-year anti-rot guarantee.
And if you’re wondering about different garden fence designs, we really have got the lot.
Traditional Fencing
While our traditional fencing is certainly stylish, it’s primarily designed with practicality in mind. So, if you’re after a good, solid fence run to provide privacy, security and stand up to storms, this is the best fencing for you.
The main styles of traditional fencing for sale are overlap panels (sometimes referred to as ‘lap’ panels), closeboard fencing, picket fencing, and tongue & groove fence panels.
Each have their own unique selling points, but to give you a taste of what’s available, here are two of our favourites.
Forest 6 x 6 Straight Cut Overlap Fence Panel (1.83m x 1.83m)
Overlap fence panels make effective, no-nonsense fencing. And as they are easier to manufacture than most other types of fencing, they’re cheaper to buy too.
Made in Britain, from ethically-sourced FSC® wood, these particular lap panels consist of overlapping wooden boards, supported by vertical battens, set within a robust perimeter frame. They’re also designed with straight-cut boards, which gives them a much smarter appearance than standard overlap panels.
Dip treated and backed by a 10-year guarantee, this overlap fencing is available in all the popular fence panel sizes.
Forest 6 x 6 Acoustic Noise Reduction Tongue and Groove Fence Panel (1.83m x 1.80m)
Tongue and groove is a highly effective joinery technique, which results in particularly strong, weathertight and attractive wooden structures. Tongue and groove fencing is no exception.
What sets these tongue and groove fence panels apart is that, thanks to Triform technology, they reflect, diffuse and absorb sound. So, if you have noisy neighbours or live near a busy road, these are the fence panels for you.
Boasting extra-thick 17mm wooden boards, pressure treated against rot, and supplied with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, this really is garden fencing at its finest.
Decorative Fence Panels
Don’t go thinking that our decorative fencing isn’t practical, or that it’s purely for showing off at garden design conventions, because nothing could be further from the truth.
Made by Britain’s leading fencing manufacturer, treated against rot and backed by very long guarantees, our decorative fence panels are as strong as they are stylish.
And with so many different designs to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect decorative fence panels for you. Here are two of our favourites.
Forest 6 x 6 Contemporary Grey Slatted Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
Slatted fencing's main selling point is that it allows more natural light and better airflow into the garden. Not only does this make your garden a more inviting place to spend time, it’s also great for your plants’ wellbeing.
And because of the gaps between the slats, this type of fencing enjoys excellent wind resistance - great news when you're bracing yourself for another bout of storms.
Slatted fence panels are also amongst the most fashionable designs of decorative fencing, and this model’s gorgeous grey finish really helps it stand out from the crowd.
Boasting extra-thick slats, water-resistant paint and a 10-year guarantee, these slatted fence panels aren’t just a pretty face – they’re built to last too.
Forest 6 x 5 Paloma Pressure Treated Decorative Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.5m)
Available in a range of sizes, this stunning decorative fencing showcases three different styles within just one panel!
The main body of the fence has a ‘hit and miss’ design, which involves alternately securing horizontal boards to the front and rear of vertical battens. While this is unquestionably a decorative way of making fence panels, it also ensures strength, privacy and security.
The upper section of the fence panel features a beautiful diamond-trellis design, which is then rounded off with a wavey, dome-shaped top for an incredibly eye-catching appearance.
With a 45 x 40mm mortise-and-tenon-jointed frame, pressure-treated timber and a 15-year guarantee included too, these decorative fence panels could make a stunning frame for your garden for decades to come.
Fence Posts
For a storm-proof fence run, you’ll need high-quality fence posts that are 2ft higher than your fence panels, so that the extra 2ft of post can be knocked into the ground to provide the necessary stability. This is why our fence posts are between 5 and 8ft tall.
All of our fence posts are made from either pressure-treated wood or concrete, so you know they’ll stand the test of time and won’t let your fence run succumb to storms. Here are a couple of examples of our fence posts for sale.
5ft x 3in x 3in Forest Fence Post (1500mm x 75mm x 75mm)
This 5ft fence post is perfect for 3ft fence panels, so it’s the type of fence post you’re likely to need for your front garden boundary.
Made from heavy-duty timber, this wooden fence post comes with a rustic, rough-sawn finish and a superb 15-year anti-rot guarantee.
8ft x 4in x 3in Forest Lightweight Concrete Fence Post (2360mm x 106mm x 84mm)
For unbeatable strength and durability, concrete fence posts make an excellent choice, and these particular concrete posts are perfect for 6ft fence panels.
They might be tough but they’re light in weight too, so you’ll find them much easier to manoeuvre and install than other concrete fence posts.
There’s no need to screw them to your fence panels, either, as the panels are simply slotted into the posts’ pre-cut grooves.
Other Fencing Accessories
If you’re after gravel boards to provide further protection to your fence panels; post spikes, holders and repair spurs to keep your fence posts secure; or post caps and finials to add a finishing touch to your fence run, you’ll find everything you need amongst our comprehensive range of fencing supplies.
Garden Gates
Because we’re the home of all things fencing, it’s only natural that we specialise in garden gates too.
Many of our wooden gates are designed to complement our fence panels, while others work exceptionally well positioned away from your fence run.
Here’s a selection of what’s on offer.
Forest Paloma 3 x 6 Decorative Pressure Treated Garden Gate
Perfectly designed to complement our Paloma decorative fence panels, this beautiful wooden gate is pressure treated and supplied with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, so no further treatment is required.
And with a robust framework and sumptuous smooth-planed finish too, this garden gate really does boast both beauty and brawn.
Barnstaple Premium Aluminium Side Gate in Black
Particularly suited to a contemporary style of property, this metal side gate showcases an exciting new take on a classic garden gate design.
It is expertly constructed from powder-coated aluminium, making for a side gate that is robust, durable and incredibly easy to maintain.
