Case Study – West Kirby Panel Fencing: A Safer Garden for Two Border Terriers

The low picket fence around this West Kirby garden looked attractive, but the owners’ two Border Terriers could easily clear it. They needed a higher, more secure boundary that would also give the garden greater privacy.

We replaced the low fence with 1800 mm high × 1800 mm wide feather edge panels supported by 2400 mm concrete posts. Each post was set into a hole approximately 600 mm deep and secured with two bags of Postcrete. This gave the new panels a firm foundation and created a strong, long lasting boundary.

The finished fence has transformed the garden’s appearance and gives the owners more confidence when their dogs are outside. Its extra height helps keep the Border Terriers within the garden, while the solid feather edge panels provide a more private space for everyone to enjoy.

We understand that every garden is different. Some customers want greater privacy, while others need a secure boundary for a dog, a safe garden for young children or a strong fence that can cope with exposed weather conditions. We take the time to understand what you need before recommending the most suitable fencing system.

Garden Fencing Wirral: Prices and Installation Times

Planning a new fence is easier when you have an idea of the likely cost. These guide prices cover supply and installation. Final prices are subject to a site survey, as access, ground conditions and the amount of preparation required vary between gardens.

Panel Fencing: From £125 per Section

Our guide price starts from £125 per section for 1800mm × 1800mm fence panels with concrete posts, including removal and disposal of the old fence.

Treat this as a rough starting estimate. Your quotation will confirm the specification, what is included and the total fitted cost.

Installation takes approximately one hour per section, although difficult ground, restricted access and additional preparation can extend the time required.

Picket Fencing: Approximately £80 per Linear Metre

Picket fencing costs approximately £80 per linear metre, supplied and fitted, subject to a site survey and the agreed specification.

A two-person team can typically install around 20 linear metres per day. The actual timescale depends on access, ground conditions, changes in level and any existing fencing that needs removing.

Garden Fencing Installed to Suit Your Property

Choosing a new fence is not simply a matter of selecting a panel. The height, style, materials, posts and ground conditions all affect how the finished fence will look and perform.

Our garden fencing installation service can be tailored to traditional and modern properties across the Wirral. We can help you choose fencing that complements your house, garden and existing landscaping while staying within your intended budget.

Popular garden fencing options include:

• Traditional timber fence panels
• Closeboard and feather-edge fencing
• Tongue-and-groove fencing
• Decorative wooden panels
• Concrete posts and gravel boards
• Timber posts and timber gravel boards
• Trellis and decorative screening
• Privacy fencing
• Low-level boundary fencing
• Replacement garden gates
• Side gates and access gates
• Fencing suitable for pets and children

If you are unsure which option would work best, we will explain the advantages of each system in straightforward language. Our aim is to help you make an informed decision rather than sell you something unsuitable.

Timber Fence Panels

Timber fence panels remain one of the most popular choices for gardens on the Wirral. They are available in various styles and heights, making them suitable for everything from a small front boundary to a private rear garden.

Standard wooden panels can provide an attractive and cost-effective way to replace an old fence. Decorative panels can add character to a landscaped garden, while taller solid panels offer increased privacy and security.

The durability of a panel fence depends heavily on the quality of its installation. Posts must be positioned correctly, set securely and kept properly aligned. Gravel boards can also be installed beneath the panels to raise the timber away from damp soil and help protect it from premature deterioration.

One useful advantage of panel fencing is that individual panels can often be replaced if they become damaged, without necessarily having to remove the entire fence line.

Closeboard and Feather-Edge Fencing

Closeboard fencing, sometimes called feather-edge fencing, is a strong and adaptable choice for many Wirral gardens. Instead of using pre-made panels, the fence is constructed using vertical feather-edge boards fixed to horizontal rails.

This style of fencing is particularly useful when:

• The garden boundary is uneven
• The fence line changes direction
• Additional strength is required
• A continuous, traditional appearance is preferred
• Standard-sized panels are not suitable
• The property is in a more exposed position

Because closeboard fencing is constructed along the boundary, it can be adapted more easily to unusual garden shapes and gradual changes in ground level. When installed correctly, it provides excellent privacy and a sturdy boundary.

Concrete Posts and Gravel Boards

Concrete posts are a popular choice for customers who want a strong, long-lasting fencing system. They do not rot at ground level and can offer additional stability during poor weather.

Concrete gravel boards are fitted beneath the timber panels. They create a barrier between the wooden fence and the soil, helping to reduce contact with moisture. They can also retain small differences in ground level and make future panel replacement more straightforward.

Although concrete components are heavier and can initially cost more than an all-timber system, many homeowners choose them because of their strength and lower maintenance requirements.

Timber posts remain a good option where customers prefer a fully wooden appearance. We can discuss both choices and help you decide which is most appropriate for the position of your fence, the local ground conditions and the appearance you want to achieve.

Garden Gates Installed and Repaired

A garden gate should provide safe, convenient access without becoming the weakest part of the boundary. Poorly fitted gates can drag on the ground, drop out of alignment, become difficult to close or leave gaps that affect security.

We install and replace garden gates to suit different properties and access points. These include side gates, rear access gates and gates incorporated into new fencing.

When planning a gate, we consider:

• The required width and height
• Privacy and security
• The direction in which the gate should open
• The strength of the supporting posts
• Hinges, latches and other fittings
• Access for bins, bicycles and garden equipment
• Safety for children and pets

We can also assess existing gates that have dropped, become loose or no longer close correctly. In some cases, a repair or adjustment may be enough. Where the timber or supporting posts have deteriorated significantly, replacement may provide better value.

Garden Fence Repairs on the Wirral

Not every damaged fence needs to be replaced completely. If the majority of your fencing remains in reasonable condition, repairing the affected section may be a sensible and economical solution.

Fence damage can be caused by strong winds, rotting timber, loose posts, impact damage, overgrown plants or general wear and tear. Leaving a small problem unattended can allow the damage to spread, particularly when a loose post places additional pressure on neighbouring panels.

Our fencing repair service can include:

• Replacing broken or missing fence panels
• Repairing or replacing damaged posts
• Replacing rotten gravel boards
• Securing loose fencing
• Realigning leaning fence sections
• Replacing damaged boards or rails
• Repairing gates and gate fittings
• Making boundaries secure after storm damage

We will inspect the condition of the fence and advise whether a repair is worthwhile. If the existing fence is badly deteriorated, we will explain why replacing a larger section may be more practical.

Privacy, Security and Safer Gardens

Privacy is one of the most common reasons homeowners decide to replace their garden fencing. A properly planned fence can help create a more private and comfortable space for relaxing, entertaining and spending time with family.

Fencing can also make a garden more secure by establishing a clear, enclosed boundary. This is particularly important for families with children or pets. The correct fence height, panel style, gate position and spacing can all help prevent unwanted gaps or easy escape routes.

Dog owners may benefit from solid fencing without gaps at the bottom. For homes with young children, secure gates and reliable catches are especially important. We can discuss how your garden is used and recommend a practical arrangement.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Even a good-quality fence can fail prematurely if it is installed incorrectly. Posts that are too shallow, poorly aligned panels, weak fixings and timber placed directly against wet ground can all reduce the lifespan of a fence.

Professional preparation and installation help ensure that:

• The boundary is measured carefully
• The fence line is straight and consistent
• Posts are positioned and secured correctly
• Panels and boards are properly supported
• Gates open and close smoothly
• Changes in ground level are handled neatly
• The completed fence is stable and attractive
• Waste and old materials are dealt with as agreed

Before work begins, it is also important to identify the correct boundary and consider nearby plants, walls, paving and underground services.

Replacing an Old or Storm-Damaged Fence

If your existing fence is leaning, rattling in the wind or held together with temporary supports, it may be time to have it assessed. Sometimes one or two failed posts are responsible for the problem. In other cases, widespread rot means that replacing the fence will be safer and more cost-effective.

We can remove the damaged fencing, prepare the boundary and install a new system based on your requirements. Where practical, we will discuss whether any sound components can remain and explain the available options before work begins.
