First impression
The front fence and gate are the first thing anyone sees. A warm timber-look boundary frames the home and lifts the street presence in a way a plain steel fence does not.
How to use it
Run woodgrain boards or battens at a height that suits privacy and council rules, with a matching gate so the whole boundary reads as one continuous line. Tie the finish to any cladding on the house for a coordinated look.
Why aluminium suits it
A front fence is on display permanently and exposed on all sides. Aluminium keeps its colour and shape without the rot, greying and re-oiling that turn a timber front fence into a liability within a few years.
