WHETHER fencing is to be constructed for practical or aesthetics it needs to be strong and long lasting.

A strong, solid fence constructed with overlapping vertical feather-edge wooden boards is commonly used in back gardens – it's a medium budget option, neat and attractive, offering good privacy and providing some shelter to delicate shrubs.

A fence, besides keeping out rabbits and other hungry animals, helps define your garden visually and can also keep those farm animals in.

Poultry netting is inexpensive and effective unless deer are a threat – in which case you need a fence five or more feet high – a two or three-foot high fence should be adequate.
