Many homes here have good-sized gardens with sheds, patios and mature planting close to the boundary. We work in B91, B92 and B93 and try to fit the fence around what you already have, with as little disturbance as possible.
Privacy and shelter in a larger garden
A bigger Solihull garden can feel exposed, especially at the back where it may be overlooked. Solid closeboard panels give good privacy, and a trellis top adds a little height while letting light and air through.
If wind is the problem, a fence can take the edge off it, though a solid panel in a strong gust takes a lot of load, so posts need to be set properly. We will talk through what suits the spot and how high you can sensibly go.
Keeping children and pets in
Gaps under or between panels are where dogs squeeze out and small children wander through. A gravel board along the base closes the bottom gap, and tight-fitting panels deal with the rest.
Gates matter just as much in Solihull gardens. We can fit one with a self-closing hinge or a latch set out of a small child's reach. If you want a front garden picket fence with a low gate, we can fit that too.
Working around sheds, patios and plants
Real gardens are rarely clear. Where a shed sits tight to the fence, or a patio edge or border runs close, we plan the posts first so we are not digging through roots or paving. We protect what we can, clear up as we go and leave the Solihull garden tidy.
Questions about fencing in Solihull
Can you fit a fence around my shed?
Usually yes. We look at how close the shed is, mark out the post positions and decide whether the panels run past it or finish against it. Sometimes the shed needs shifting a little, and we will say so beforehand.
What fence gives the most privacy?
Closeboard panels give a solid screen with no gaps. A trellis top can add height where it is allowed. Slatted screens are a different look, with narrow gaps, so they suit areas where full privacy is not essential.
Do you work in areas near Solihull?
Yes. As well as Solihull itself, we also work in Shirley, Knowle, Olton and Hall Green. Send us your address and a few details about the garden and we will get back to you.
