Why our fences
A fence is only as strong as the posts supporting it.
Leaning posts, rotted bases and panels lifting in the wind usually trace back to the support, ground contact or specification. Here's how we build around those weak points.
Correct treatment for every component
Treatment is matched to where each component sits: ground-contact-grade timber for posts and timber gravel boards, and pressure-treated exterior-grade timber for rails and fence boards.
Concrete-set posts
Set to the right depth and properly haunched in concrete, with the post size and spacing matched to the fence and its exposure.
Built for long service life
Correctly treated timber, protected end grain and gravel boards keep vulnerable components away from prolonged moisture.
Built for Scottish weather
Post size, rail layout and spacing are chosen to suit the boundary and the wind exposure found during the site survey.
Four clear style choices
Lap panel, closeboard and single- or double-sided contemporary slatted fencing, with decorative details where wanted.
5-year written guarantee
Workmanship guarantee on every install. Posts, panels, gates, the lot.

Styles & pricing
Four styles. Same install standard.
Straightforward pricing, based on the fence you actually want. Most Strathworks timber fencing installations fall between £110 and £210 per linear metre, depending on the style, height, ground conditions and access. The prices below are a guide; after a free site visit you'll receive a fixed price before any work starts.
How the guide rates work: Guide rates are based on a standard 1.8 m fence on runs of 10 m or more with normal access and ground conditions. Short runs are priced as a fixed job. Existing timber fence removal is included where required. Gates, retaining work, substantial roots or concrete, masonry walls, trees or hedges, contaminated waste and unusually difficult access are quoted separately. For worked examples by run length, see our fencing cost guide.
