Trellis fencing

A useful open side fence which can be used as a cap for closeboard or waney, or a complete fence. Trellis fencing comes in either square spaces or for a premium look, diamond spaces and double trellis spacing. Trellis fencing is a popular choice used to divide garden, patio or terrace areas off or create intimate areas for dining or relaxing. Not forgetting trellis fencing works great for climbing plants.

Trellis Panels

Trellis is an open sided fence, and is ideal for either a panel, infill or to support climbing plants. Trellis fence panels can make beautiful striking features to any garden. There are many different types of Trellis fence panels, below are some examples of the most common, of which we’ve supplied and installed many times over.

Standard Trellis

The small Double Trellis panel is well suited for use to screen areas of the garden giving added privacy where it’s needed.

Post and Rail Fencing

Post and rail fencing comes in many different forms, and often include wire such as barbed wire and/or stock netting. The stakes can be pointed round, pointed half-round and square.

The design choices of an effective and correct stock-proof post and rail fence are foremost influenced by the desired function of the fence, and less important are the aesthetics over the form. For example; a half round rail is far stronger than a square sawn rail, so if you have some powerful frisky horses to keep safe and contain, half round rails are, in our opinion the best option.

Different Post and Rail Fence Designs

Standard Stock-Proof Post and Rail Fencing

The most common and universal Stock-Proof Post and Rail Fencing design is made up with round stakes, half round rails and often standard stock netting.

• A typical post and rail fence uses the following measurements and sizes;
• Round Stakes – 6ft long and 3/4 inches by diameter and spaced 6ft apart
• Half Round Rails – 12ft long and 4 inches wide
• The number of rails really depends on whether or not the fence requires netting, but is usually 3 or 4 rails.
• Using stock netting in addition to rails of course makes the fence more universal and better suited for various different types of animals, such as horses and sheep for example.

Rustic Paddock Fencing. This fence is also commonly known as morticed paddock fencing.

Hit and Miss Fence Advantages & Disadvantages

Double boarded, a pricier fence option, but certainly a classy fence design.

Double boarded Hit and Miss has equal beauty on both sides – good fences make god neighbours.

Picket fencing (Timber Palisade fencing)

Picket fencing, sometimes referred to as timber palisade fencing is a very popular choice for front gardens and borders, and rightly so, it looks lovely. You can choose between round, pointed or flat tops.

As you can see, the boards are laid vertically, and these are called the “pickets”, which in turn are attached to horizontal rails.

Picket fences are used mostly for decorative reasons, and are very useful for keeping domestic pets and children contained in gardens, without spoiling a pretty view.

Traditionally the home and garden picket fence is painted white, and often still is. We can supply and fit either plain wood (pressure tanilised treated) or white painted picket fencing. The choice is of course yours.

Most people think of picket fences as those cute cottage style fences only a few inches tall with spacing in between – however, some picket fencing can have the pickets aligned much closer to each other, and be 6ft (1.8m) to 8ft (2.4m) tall. Trellis can also be applied to the top of the fence, although the fence would normally be shadow picket fence, with pickets on the front and back, covering the spaces, just like a “Hit and Miss” fence.

Typical fence heights range from 0.60m (2′) to 1.8m (6′) and in 1.80m (6′), 2.4m (8′), 2.7m (9′), 3m (10′) bay sizes. Capping rail, Gravel Boards and routered posts can be included if desired.

Palisade fencing

Palisade fencing provides security, and both physical and visible deterrent against unwanted intruders. It is secure and robust and its versatile design can accommodate all site requirements.

Information on the wood we at Taskforce use

Tanalith E, Tanalith Extra & Tanatone

TANALITH E pressure treated timber is timber which has been impregnated with TANALITH E wood preservative under controlled conditions in a vacuum pressure timber impregnation plant. TANALITH E is a water based wood preservative that contains copper and proven organic biocides.

When impregnated into the timber the preservative components bond with the wood structure and cannot easily be removed.

TANALITH E pressure treated timber has a long term protection against fungal and insect attack, including termites, for both in and out of ground contact, interior and exterior applications when treated to the correct end use specification. TANALITH E pressure treated timber has an initial natural green colouration.

Upon external exposure, the green colour slowly weathers to a warm, honey brown and in the longer term becomes a natural silver grey.

This weathering process does not indicate any loss of preservative protection. TANALITH E pressure treated timber is also available with built-in water repellent (TANALITH Extra) or built in brown colour (TANATONE). With the benefit of water repellent properties, TANALITH Extra pressure treated timber is ideal for outdoor leisure and decorative timbers such as decking, cladding and playground equipment.

TANATONE treated timber has a brown colouration as opposed to the traditional TANALITH green. It is ideal for rough sawn timber fencing and landscaping applications. Recommendations provided for TANALITH E pressure treated timber apply equally to TANALITH Extra and TANATONE pressure treated timber, unless otherwise stated.
