Composite Horizontal Slatted Panels

The biggest shift in Midlands fencing has been towards composite horizontal slatted panels. They offer privacy, allow light through, and require zero maintenance. They suit contemporary homes across Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, and Stratford-upon-Avon and pair exceptionally well with porcelain patios and clean-line planting schemes.

Dark-Stained Timber

Traditional closeboard fencing stained in deep charcoal, slate, or forest green is experiencing a revival. The dark colour creates a sophisticated backdrop that makes planting vibrant. It suits both contemporary and traditional properties across Evesham, Burford, and the wider Cotswolds.
