🪵 Types of Fencing We Install


1. Traditional Timber Fencing


Timber fencing remains a favourite for homeowners who want a natural, warm look that blends perfectly with the garden.


We use tanalised, pressure-treated timber for durability — meaning each post and panel is impregnated with preservative under pressure to protect against rot, fungus, and insect attack.

Alternatively, dip-treated timber offers a more affordable option, but it needs regular retreatment to maintain protection.


Popular timber fencing styles include:


Ranch style, horizontal boards, cheap and functional, but easier for people to climb over.


Feather edge / close board fencing – strong, solid panels offering complete privacy.


Hit and miss panels – attractive design allowing airflow while maintaining screening.


Picket fencing – classic style for front gardens and decorative borders.


Curved-top and arched panels – softer aesthetic, ideal for modern and traditional homes alike.



We also supply matching timber gates, built to size, ensuring your fence line looks complete and professional.

2. Concrete Fencing


Concrete fencing is the go-to option for customers wanting maximum strength and zero maintenance.


Concrete posts and gravel boards can be paired with timber or composite panels for a long-lasting, secure boundary.

They resist rot, moisture, and high winds — ideal for the West of Scotland’s wet and windy weather.


We offer:


Concrete slotted posts (for easy panel replacement)


Reinforced gravel boards to prevent soil contact with panels


Full concrete panel systems for industrial or privacy applications



Concrete fencing provides decades of performance without painting or staining — a great investment for homeowners looking for set-and-forget durability.

3. Composite Fencing


Composite fencing is becoming increasingly popular throughout Glasgow and Ayrshire for its modern look and eco-friendly build.


Made from a mix of recycled plastic and wood fibres, composite fencing never needs painting, won’t rot or warp, and is available in several stylish colours — from charcoal grey to natural oak tones.


Benefits of composite fencing:


Low-maintenance – no staining or treating required


Sleek, contemporary appearance


Environmentally responsible choice


Long-lasting – typically 20+ years lifespan



It pairs beautifully with composite decking, creating a cohesive and elegant outdoor space.

⚒️ Installation Standards You Can Rely On


We believe great fencing starts with solid foundations.

Every post we install is set to a minimum depth of 600mm (2 feet) for stability — deeper where required due to soil conditions or height of fence.


Each post is secured using two bags of Postcrete per post, ensuring a fast-setting, rock-solid anchor that stands up to Scottish weather.


Post sizes commonly used:


3” x 3” (75mm x 75mm) – suitable for lower garden fencing


4” x 4” (100mm x 100mm) – ideal for higher fences or exposed locations



We always ensure fences are level, straight, and aligned with existing boundaries.

🧰 About the New Post Saver System


To further extend fence life, we recommend the Post Saver sleeve system – a modern innovation that prevents rot and ground decay.

These heat-shrink sleeves are applied around the base of each timber post before installation, forming an airtight, waterproof barrier where the wood meets the soil.


This simple addition can double or even triple the life of a wooden post — saving time, money, and hassle in the long term.


Cutting Edge Artificial Grass is proud to offer Post Saver protected installations across all our fencing projects.
