\nReplacing a fence can be both a tiresome and difficult task, which is why ensuring the quality of materials, integrity of installation and choosing the right fence are all vitally important considerations when selecting the right fencing for your project.
\nWhen buying a new fence or replacing an existing system it\u2019s important to give thought to the quality of materials you desire. The better the quality of material the longer the product will last, ultimately. Ensure you give thought as to where the fence will run; the type of the fence and the style.
\nWe get a lot of questions from buyer\u2019s everyday about what types of fencing there and common things to consider when thinking about fencing so use the below information to help make the right decision.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n
\nThere are 5 main types of timber fencing<\/b>
\n\u2022 Solid privacy fencing
\n\u2022 Semi sold decorative fencing
\n\u2022 Pale fencing
\n\u2022 Slatted fencing
\n\u2022 Traditional panel fencing
\nTo make the decision process easier we have listed our five tips for choosing and installing a fence:
\n\u2022 Be as accurate as you can when estimating the cost otherwise they spiral out of control. Jacksons have a specially designed fence builder calculator app<\/a> on the site to help you make better informed decisions about the quantity of the fence-panels and the cost.
\n\u2022 Only use good quality materials, pressure treated timber is usually best because of the long life span.
\n\u2022 The construct of the fence is important. All fencing should be made by professionals to a high standard without taking shortcuts, to ensure it lasts and not until the next storm.
\n\u2022 Choose the right fence for your requirements, a slatted fence may be beautifully modern but if you require privacy then it may not be viable. Jacksons have created a range of decorative privacy fence panels to meet even the most obscure requirements.
\n\u2022 Lastly, fence installation: How well the fencing is installed has a direct impact on how long it can last. Only use well trained qualified professionals who can deliver.
\nThe Quality of Material<\/b>
\nThe quality of the material used to build the fence is important for both the aesthetic appeal and life of the product. At Jacksons Fencing, all timber products undergo our strict timber treatment process \u2013 a unique process whereby the treatment penetrates deep into the heartwood. We use Radiata, Redwoods and Corsican Pine because they absorb our unique timber treatment extremely well, due to being softwoods.
\nThe benefit of undergoing this treatment process is the timber becomes guaranteed for 25-years meaning a reduced carbon footprint as the system should never need replacing.
\nThe expected length of life<\/b>
\nTo ensure your fence lasts the test of time, it\u2019s important to ensure you\u2019ve chosen the right manufacturer & supplier along with the right fence. One of the greatest blockages when choosing a fence is budget, however replacing a cheap and cheerful fence two, three even four times can be a great deal more expensive than choosing a superior timber fence and having it expertly installed.  
\nThe integrity and the construction of the materials used<\/b>
\nSomething to look out for: if a fence panel or gate is constructed using thin pales or a weak support rail, then it is unlikely to last under the scrutiny of weathering and you can guarantee you\u2019ll be replacing that fence after a mild storm.
\nChoosing the right fencing for the right job<\/b>
\nThe days of featherboard fencing on every street are a blur, nowadays fencing comes in various designs and styles for many different uses. Whether you need to improve home security, or you\u2019re a garden lover who wants contemporary fencing there is a whole range of fence panels available on the market.

\nThe fence installation<\/b>
\nThe final part of the process, the installation of your new fence, do you pay for a skilled labourer which costs money, or do-it-yourself? Whatever is easiest, as long as it\u2019s done by a trained professional with the necessary skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
