Beautiful fence

8 years ago

Hi, this fence is truly gorgeous - I love the finish and colours! Please could you share what kind of timber oil/stain has been used here?

Hi,

I hope you don't mind, I noticed your enquiry about this fencing, the wood looks to be Western Red Cedar, this is a great type of wood to use for this fencing, it has a mix of colours from lighter beiges to chocolate browns, sometimes even in the same piece of timber.

some other examples of this type of timber and fencing can be seen on the link below.

Hit here, thanks for your response. The pictures on your site are lovely. I'm glad you reckon it's western red cedar - that was the conclusion I'd reached as well. I'm up in Glasgow so unfortunately probably out of your catchment. But thanks for the advice and the pics!

I think a winding path with shrubs and tall grasses at intervals would be lovely in your garden, and give a feeling of "what's around the corner?". If you are painting I would make the back of the garden and one fence side darker to create some width and depth. The other side could be a lighter colour like the blue or even bright orange if you want to blend with your neighbour's. I used Cuprinol Shades in Willow on one of my boundaries and it is beautiful winter and summer as a backdrop to planting , and in its own right. Don't use cheap stuff , you will rue the day when you have to repaint it all again because of flaking. A good quality paint in a couple of ciates will last 3 to 5 years. If you don't load the brush too much at the creases you will avoud runs going through the other side. Oil your deck once a year with a natural or lightly coloured deck stain and it will last and look beautiful . Enjoy

Lovely garden. I had a little garden a while back that had white painted walls and lightish grey painted fence with natural decking. The grey made the fence recess and the garden feel bigger and the white reflected light and made it feel bigger too. The planting looked amazing against both because the greens really pop against the homogenised background. So I think you should paint it too, but personally I'd find a complementary grey. Cream and grey are great together.

Hi Michal Thanks for your comments.. I would definitely go with the black from the green, it looks much richer and the plants just pop in front of the black. It does not close the garden in at all. As for painting the fence post, I have always painted mine as I don't like the look, I personally think it looks more industrial if they are not painted, also one side of my garden has wooden posts which are painted which I think it would look odd if the other side wasn't. I have always used Cuprinol ducksback, brilliant paint with good coverage. I have so far used nearly three 5L tins of it and have painted 20 panels with two coats. Hope all this helps.

The light and airy feel is what I like too, it looks lovely when there’s a light breeze. We bought two pots that were being flogged in the garden centre. They probably looked a bit past their best but they were still something like £30 each. When we got them home we just chopped each pot into 2 or 3 clumps before planting it out so that they spread across the space better. We have 2 varieties one is golden (phyllostachys aurea I think) and one is black (phyllostachys nigra I think). The black one is significantly taller but I’m not sure if that’s due to the variety or whether it just established itself better.

If you get stuck just let me know as I supply the panels pre built for you to install or you can have a local tradesman do it, I do standard sizes as well as bespoke.
