Introduction
Here within the great city of Cardiff there are so many different types of homes, that’s to say there’s everything from your new build houses, right through too much older Victorian properties.
With that said, regardless of whether you have a modern home, or your home is more traditional in terms of its style, well there’s one type of garden fence that seems to blend into any style of home and garden.
And that type of fencing is called “feather edge”- also commonly known as close board fencing.
So, we thought it would be a good idea to state why so many homeowners opt for feather edge fencing.
So, what exactly is feather edge fencing?
Let’s start with what feather edge fencing is.
Here at Hyden Bros we mostly build our garden fences using feather edge. The reason why we recommend using feather edge is for the following reasons:
· Hardwearing
· We carefully select which wood we use, so we only supply quality fencing
· Easy to paint
· This type of fence can be built by our team quickly
Feather edge for those that do not know is a fence that’s made using thick wooden slats, then these wooden slats are then fitted to a piece of wood called the rail, the whole fence is then made solid through using thick wooden posts, these wooden posts are secured to the ground using concrete.
So, why is this type of fence so durable?
Well, again this does depend on the fencing company that you choose, but all of our fences are built solid, and here’s how we make our garden fences so strong:
We use thick wooden posts
Well, this may sound a pretty basic point to make, however it’s an important one, and that is the concrete must be correctly mixed, and the fence post must be set into the ground deep enough so that the wooden post is secured into the ground adequately so that it supports the rest of the fence.
So many fencing companies try to cut corners, that’s to say in a rush to complete the fencing contract, well some fencing companies may just dig a shallow hole in the ground for the fence posts. Yet, this is why so many fences then subsequently fail, and that’s because the fence posts do not offer adequate support to the fence, which means that in strong winds that the whole fence could blow over.
Quality timber
Okay, so as any good carpenter will tell you, it pays to use quality timber. Cheap timber that has a lot of wooden knots, or low-quality timber that won’t withstand being used outdoors for very long, well purchasing that type of wood we think is a false economy.
It’s a false economy as the whole fence may soon suffer from wood rot, or the wooden slats may split because the wooden slats may well be made too thin.
However, this is why Hyden Bros have such a good reputation, and that’s because we use quality wood, and we have a skilled team of carpenters that will take the time that’s needed to make sure that you obtain a high-quality fence.
So, is feather edge the most popular option that your customers choose?
Feather edge is by far the most popular type of garden fencing that we build by a long way. But, with that said, we also build hardwood fencing and hit and miss fencing as well.
However, feather edge is still the most popular option, and that’s not just for our residential customers, feather edge is still the most popular fencing option that our commercial customers as well.
Can this type of fencing be painted?
Yes, we can also offer to paint your new garden fence for you. Popular colours at the moment are olive green colours, and also light blue shades of paint.
But why does this type of fence offer such good value for money?
Some garden maintenance companies here in Cardiff offer a wide selection of gardening services, for example the business may offer to cut down old trees, and also offer to build block driveways.
However, Hyden Bros are very different, and that’s because we only build garden fencing and wooden decking. So, this means we have a massive amount of experience building wooden fences, and this is why our fences are so built so well, and built by highly experienced carpenters.
So when you combine our skilled carpenters, and a customer chooses feather edge, which is very affordable, we believe that this offers very good value for money.
Also more homeowners are choosing fencing companies like us because we can build garden fences quickly.
And we also offer free quotes as well, so if your house is located in Cardiff, or within Penarth, well we can build you a new garden fence at an affordable price- so why not call us today?
