Panel fencing is mainly available in 4 different heights; 3 ft (approx 90 cm), 4 ft (approx 120 cm), 5 ft (approx 159 cm), and 6 ft (approx 180 cm). Most panels come in 6 ft (approx 180 cm) lengths, but heights and lengths other than those mentioned are sometimes available or can often be ordered to size. The most popular type of panel fencing is known as �waney latt� which is constructed from slightly overlapping horizontal feather edge boards with decorative natural rustic edging and strengthened with horizontal and vertical strip, this type of panelling looks very attractive in the right setting. Other types of panel fencing include �verti latt� - similar to waney latt but without a decorative edge to the boards which are attached vertically, another is �interwoven� and has both horizontal and vertical strips woven together. Others are available but those mentioned appear to be the most popular. Each 6 ft long section is then nailed or screwed onto the fence posts, however slotted concrete or wooden fence posts are also available; this way each section can just be slotted in and so easing the labour when erecting the fence and with no need for screws or nails. All are visually pleasing and provide a no-gap fence for privacy. The main drawback with solid panel fencing such as those above is that they tend to be rather susceptible to damage caused by strong winds. Panel fence sections start at about �10 each depending on size so this can prove to be rather pricy if a lot are required, plus you will also have the cost of the fence posts (from about �3 each), the concrete to hold the posts in place and possibly also the labour if you choose not to undertake the task yourself. Picket fencing on the other hand is somewhat less costly than panel fencing and is also visually pleasing if constructed correctly. Although picket fencing is available in pre-constructed sections the extra price you pay is unjustified as this type of fencing is rather easy to construct yourself. Picket fencing consists of �posts� about 6 ft apart, 2 or 3 horizontal �runners� are then attached to the posts, and finally vertical �strips� are then attached uniformly to these runners, leaving a gap between the strips. This is a much cheaper alternative to solid panel fencing but unfortunately will not provide the same privacy. However in areas of high winds picket fencing is often a more agreeable choice as less damage will be caused, purely because the wind will pass through the gaps rather than battering a solid construction. This type of fencing is available in whatever size you choose as the assembly is most often carried out whilst the fence is being erected. You will however still be required to secure the posts in concrete for stability, and of course if you decide to have someone in to do the work for you there will be the labour cost. The above are just a very small sample of the types of fencing you can use for your garden, there are many other types of which I have no space to mention here but my new upcoming ebook will explain types of fencing in much more detail and how to put up different types of fence yourself.
