Fencing

Which colour of fence paint makes gardens look bigger?

If you're looking to create the illusion of a bigger garden with your fencing panels, there are a few things you can do to create an open and airy outdoor area. Lighter colours such as cream and off-white can help achieve this while providing the perfect landscape for a burst of colour with plants and climbing roses.

Alternatively, you can also look to fix a garden mirror to your fence panelling. An outdoor mirror can be used to reflect other pleasing parts of your garden like ornamental trees and water features.

Does staining a fence make it last longer?

You can apply a fence stain to your fence panelling. This has various benefits including making it last longer, protecting it against the weather and outside elements, as well as enhancing its natural colour and bringing it to life. Summer can promote mildew and mould whereas strong winds, rain, and snow in the winter can encourage rot. A high-quality wood preservative can help your panels last much longer than without.

How to clean fencing

Keep your fencing in perfect condition by keeping it clean and removing any buildup of algae and mildew. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to maintain – just fill a bucket of warm soapy water and grab a scrubbing brush. Scrub your fence panels in circular motions. If your fence needs a bit more tender love and care, you can use a pressure washer to quickly remove stubborn dirt.
