Low Level Fencing is sometimes required when your garden needs some screening but regular fence panels are just a little too tall.  Low Level Fencing can make a positive, attractive addition to your garden. Perfect for marking boundaries a low-level fence should also add to  the kerb appeal of your property.  So, what options do we have?

Fence Panels 6’ x 3’

Probably the quickest and easiest fencing solution, but a little old-hat. Choosing an “open” design – lattice or trellis - would help in many situations. If you do opt for low fence panels then secure your preferred posts and then include your preferred lattice, or Trellis, between them. The 6’ x 3’ lattice allows sunlight through the squares but remember to raise and secure the lattice slightly higher than the prevailing soil. Anything other than posts, treated for ground-use, is likely to start rotting away after 6-7 years.
