Timber Closeboard: The Most Popular Security Fence

Closeboard fencing offers solid privacy and strong resistance to forced entry when installed with concrete posts and gravel boards. At 1.8m height, it provides an effective barrier for residential properties across Evesham, Cheltenham, and Stratford-upon-Avon. Pressure-treated timber lasts 15–20 years with correct installation, and concrete posts eliminate the risk of post rot at ground level.

Composite Fencing: Security with Low Maintenance

Composite panels are manufactured to resist impact, moisture, and UV — making them an increasingly popular choice for secure boundaries in Burford, Moreton-in-Marsh, and the wider Cotswolds. They won't warp, splinter, or rot, and unlike timber, they don't require regular treatment. A composite fence installed correctly will perform for 25+ years with virtually no maintenance.

Metal and Palisade Options

For commercial premises, larger properties, or sites requiring maximum deterrence, metal palisade or wrought iron fencing provides the strongest security. Plex Group installs these across Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, and Warwickshire for clients with elevated security requirements or period properties where iron railings complement the architecture.

Key Security Fencing Considerations

  • Always use concrete posts — timber posts at ground level rot in Worcestershire's clay soil
  • Gravel boards protect panel bases from ground moisture
  • 1.8m height is standard for residential privacy and security
  • All types installed across the region by Plex Group
What is the most secure type of garden fencing?

Closeboard timber with concrete posts and gravel boards, or composite fencing, offers the best combination of security, privacy, and durability for most residential properties.

Do I need planning permission for a 1.8m fence?

Generally no, unless the fence borders a highway or you're in a conservation area. Always check with your local authority before installation.

Do you install security fencing in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire?

Yes. Plex Group installs fencing across Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, and Warwickshire, including Cheltenham, Burford, Moreton-in-Marsh, and Stratford-upon-Avon.

How long does composite fencing last?

Quality composite fencing typically lasts 25 years or more with minimal maintenance — significantly longer than untreated timber.
