Screen fencing is another fencing option for your home. It\u2019s well-known for being affordable and easy to install.<\/p>\n
Screen fencing is usually made of reed, bamboo or willow. Pieces of these plants are either woven or strung together to create panels that are supported by posts.<\/p>\n
Screen fencing can look great in a range of gardens, but is it right for your home? To help you decide we\u2019ve come up with a list of its pros and cons.<\/p>\n
A great benefit to screen fencing is that it\u2019s often very attractive. It has a rustic look that helps it to blend into gardens but can also look quite decorative. It\u2019s often chosen by people who want fencing that is both practical and stylish.<\/p>\n
Screen fencing is usually very easy to install. It tends to come in panels or long rolls that usually need attaching to poles. If you’re putting it on grass or soil these poles are easy to hammer into the ground and don\u2019t need any specialised skills.<\/p>\n
Screen fencing is relatively environmentally friendly. Bamboo and reed grow fairly fast, certainly more quickly than woods like cedar that are used for block and spaced fencing. This means that replacement plants can be regrown easily and quickly. <\/p>\n
Using screen fencing also reduces the number of trees cut down for block and spaced fencing.<\/p>\n
Screen fencing is relatively affordable and usually cheaper than block or spaced fencing. So if you have a tight budget, screen fencing might be the best option for you.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, screen fencing provides limited security compared to block and spaced fencing. It can be moved fairly easily and knocked down. For this reason, many people use screen fencing to create internal areas in their gardens rather than putting it up around their boundaries.<\/p>\n
Screen fencing can be prone to rot. It\u2019s a good idea to check whether the screening you buy has been treated to stop it from deteriorating in damp conditions. If it hasn\u2019t, it\u2019s a good idea to coat it with a sealant before you put it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
