A Guide to Choosing the Right Panel for Your Property
Choosing the right fence panel is an important decision that will affect both the functionality and appearance of your outdoor space. At Bingley Fencing, we offer a wide range of options to suit different needs, whether you’re looking for more privacy, a specific aesthetic, or durable fencing that can withstand the elements. Below, we guide you through the key considerations when choosing the perfect fence panel.
1. Privacy: Gaps, Height, and Design
If privacy is your main concern, the design and height of your fence are crucial. We understand that some customers want a fence that provides complete seclusion, while others may be looking for a more open and decorative option.
- Featheredge Panels – Offering a strong and solid structure with minimal gaps between the boards, these are great for maximum privacy.
- Overlap Panels – These have slightly thinner slats which overlap. These are one of the most popular selling panel types for those on a budget
- Paling Panels – For those seeking a more traditional fence, paling panels are a great option. We offer both single-sided paling fences and double-sided paling fences. The double-sided option is ideal for better privacy, as it features slats on both sides, giving you a uniform look on either side of the fence.
For those specifically wanting a more private fence, we also offer palings with gaps of 1 inch and 2 inches, giving you flexibility depending on how open or closed you want your fence to feel.
Additionally, we offer various panel heights to suit your privacy needs. Whether you need a taller panel for a higher level of seclusion or a shorter one for a decorative boundary, we have plenty of options to choose from.
2. Shape: Tailoring the Look of Your Fence
The shape of your fence can significantly impact its appearance. Whether you prefer a clean, modern look or something more traditional, we have the right style for you.
- Flat-Top Panels – Offering a simple, clean finish, flat-top panels work well in modern gardens or spaces where a more minimalist look is desired.
- Arched-Top Panels – If you're after a more classic or decorative design, arched-top panels are a fantastic option. The gentle curve of the top adds elegance and softens the look of your fence.
3. Wood Finish: Durability and Style
The finish of your fence panels is not only important for their appearance but also for their longevity. Over time, untreated wood can weather and change color, so it’s essential to consider the right treatment.
We offer pressure-treated wood to help prevent rot and damage from insects, as well as untreated timber for a more natural and rustic look. Whatever finish you choose, it will impact the fence’s look and the level of maintenance required.
