Garden Screening FAQs

How high can I have my screening in my garden?

According to UK regulations, fences shouldn’t be over 2m high in a back garden or 1m tall in a front garden, therefore the same rule should apply to garden screening. At Primrose, we stock a range of garden screening up to 2m high, so all of our screening should be perfectly suitable for your garden.

Which is better reed, bamboo or willow screening?

The choice between reed, bamboo, and willow screening largely depends on your specific needs, preferences, and the environment in which you plan to use the screening. Each material has its own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. Here's a comparison to help you make an informed decision:

  1. Reed Screening:
    - Reed screening is often made from thin reed stems that are woven together. It provides a natural and rustic look.
    - It offers good privacy and shade while allowing some air and light to pass through.
    - Reed screening is lightweight and relatively easy to install.
    - It may not be as durable as other materials and might require more frequent replacement or maintenance, especially in harsh weather conditions.
  2. Bamboo Screening:
    - Bamboo screening is made from bamboo canes that are typically tied together or woven.
    - It provides a more exotic and tropical appearance compared to reed screening.
    - Bamboo screening offers decent privacy and shade, depending on the density of the canes.
    - Bamboo is generally more durable than reed and can withstand various weather conditions better.
    - Depending on the quality, bamboo screening can be a bit more expensive than reed.
  3. Willow Screening:
    - Willow screening is made from woven willow branches and offers a rustic and natural aesthetic.
    - It provides good privacy and shade while allowing some light to filter through.
    - Willow is often thicker and more robust than reed, making it more durable and suitable for longer-term use.
    - Willow screening might be slightly harder to find and install compared to bamboo or reed options.
    - The appearance of willow screening can vary, and some may prefer its more textured and uneven look.

Ultimately, the "better" choice depends on your preferences for aesthetics, desired level of privacy, durability requirements, and the overall atmosphere you want to create. It's a good idea to consider factors such as the climate in your area, the intended use of the screening (e.g., fencing, privacy screens, decoration), and your budget when making your decision. If possible, visiting a local store or showroom to see the materials in person can also help you make a more informed choice based on your personal preferences.
