What fencing actually involves.
What it is
Timber garden fencing — from a low ranch-style boundary that marks a paddock or driveway edge, to full 6-foot close-board panels that give privacy, security and a windbreak. We install new lines, replace failed runs and re-hang or build gates to match.
Who it's for
Homeowners tired of a leaning larch-lap that comes down every winter, landlords needing a boundary that lasts the length of a tenancy, small-holders enclosing paddocks, and commercial sites with security or livestock requirements.
When it's needed
Any time posts are rocking, panels have lifted, boards are rotting at the ground line, or the neighbour's spec was never yours to start with. Autumn and early spring are the busiest windows in Perthshire — book ahead.
Why professional help matters
The failure point on a fence is almost never the panel. It is the post — how deep it was set, whether it was concreted, and whether the timber was properly treated before it went in the ground. Getting those three things right is the difference between a fence that lasts three years and one that lasts fifteen.
What happens when this gets put off.
The reason people call us is almost always that the small job is now a bigger one. Here's what's usually happening under the surface.
Boundary disputes
A collapsing fence line that drifts onto a neighbour's ground becomes a legal problem, not just a cosmetic one.
Escaping pets and livestock
A gap under a rotted board is all a determined dog or a nosey pony needs. Replacement is cheaper than the vet or the reparations.
Wind damage cascade
Once one panel goes, the next one is exposed. What could have been a single-post repair becomes a whole run.
Rot from the ground up
Ground-contact timber that wasn't pressure-treated — or was cut and not re-treated on site — rots from the base and takes the whole panel with it.
Common mistakes we're called in to fix
- Setting posts in soil rather than post-mix concrete.
- Using non-treated or lightly-treated timber for ground contact.
- Skipping gravel boards, so the panel wicks water up from the earth.
- Under-spec posts — a 3-inch post won't hold a 6-foot close-board panel in a Perthshire gale.
- Reusing failed posts to save money on quote day, then paying twice when they fail again.

Fencing — the full picture.
Fencing sounds like one job. It isn't. The right build depends on what the fence is for, what it has to stand up to, and what is on either side of it.
Methods & materials
Vertical close-board
Feather-edge boards nailed vertically over horizontal arris rails, fixed to concreted posts. Strong, private, weathers to a silvered grey. The default choice for a robust residential boundary.
Panel fencing (larch-lap, hit-and-miss)
Prefabricated panels slotted between posts. Faster to install, easier to replace individually, cheaper — but only as good as the post it hangs on.
Ranch-style / post-and-rail
Two, three or four rail post-and-rail for paddocks, drives and rural boundaries. Adds character without blocking a view.
Gates
Pedestrian and vehicle gates to match — softwood or hardwood, hung on properly-sized posts with galvanised hinges.
Gravel boards
A concrete or timber board at ground level that keeps the panel out of contact with wet earth — dramatically extends life on damp sites.
Variations we cover
New-build boundaries
Full straight-line install, string-lined and set to a consistent height.
Replacement runs on existing lines
Old fence lifted, posts dug out (or ground down where cutting is safer), new fence set on the same boundary.
Paddock and small-holder fencing
Post-and-rail with optional stock netting for smallholdings and hobby farms.
Repair work
Single-panel and single-post repairs where the rest of the run is still sound.
Residential vs commercial
For homes the emphasis is on appearance, privacy and getting the height right for both sides. For commercial and agricultural work — yards, small-holdings, letting property — the emphasis is on spec: heavier posts, deeper concreting, tighter fixings so the boundary is doing a job, not just marking one.
