Garden timber fencing comes in a wide range of styles, featheredge and closeboard fencing, fence panels, trellis, post and rail, and screening to name just a few. After being in the fencing business for so long, Altas Fencing can supply and fit any and all types of fencing available.
The important thing is to decide what your fence is for. Is your fence there to simply mark the edge of your garden? Is your fence there to provide security or privacy? Are you looking for a sturdy fence to stand up to strong winds or keep animals in or out? Are you looking for something to make your garden look as good as it can be? Atlas Fencing will be able to help.
Below is a brief overview of some of the different types of fencing that can be installed, and should help you decide which is the right fence for you. Please note this is just a small sample of the fencing we can install.
All fencing we provide is treated unless requested untreated.

Featheredge / Closeboard Fencing
A traditional choice when it comes to fencing. A featheredge / closeboard fence can be both practical and decorative. Using three rails and thick posts (3 inch by 3 inch or 4 inch by 4 inch) on a fence up to 6 feet high means you will have a robust fence which will stand up to a great deal of punishment, as well as give you a great deal of privacy. Using various cappings and other finishing touches, a featheredge fence can also be quite decorative.
Overlap Fence Panels
Again another common choice, overlap fence panels come in various sizes and thicknesses and range from average to heavy duty. Like featheredge fencing, they will provide more privacy and security to your garden.
Decorative Fence Panels
Despite the extra cost involved, decorative fence panels are becoming more popular as people wish to make more of an impression in the garden. There are many styles available, from overlapped panels to more open trellis panels. When building fences like this, we make sure we select the best panels available, with the best build quality to make sure that your garden fence will last.
Picket Fences
More common in the front garden of a house, picket fences bring a more rustic feature to a garden. Although they do not provide a great deal of privacy or security, they are better at marking the boundry of your garden. They are also perfect for keeping smaller animals such as dogs within the confines of the garden.
Trellis Fences
More common in the back garden, trellis fences provide and excellent frame for garden plants to climb up on. However they lack the sturdiness and privacy of other fence types.
Post and Rail Fencing
More suited to large farms and paddocks, post and rail fencing is very open, but incredibly sturdy. Mainly used by farms and horse riding stables.

We were delighted to discover Altas Timber, who were prepared to look at the outline drawings we had for our garden hideaway and build just what we had 'dreamed up'. They made useful suggestions about how to put our ideas into practice until the plan was complete.
The team which built our garden hut were a pleasure to have around - cheerful, efficient and cooperative. The materials used were first-rate and our choice of sheep wool insulation was happily accommodated.
Not only did we end up with a building exactly to our own design and specification, but it was much better than an off-the-shelf model.
We have a beautiful and practical addition to our living and working space, thanks to the team at Atlas Timber.
