Fencing Styles FAQs — Blackburn
Common questions about fencing styles, heights and materials in Blackburn and Lancashire.
What is the most popular fencing style in Blackburn?
Close board (feather-edge) fencing is the most popular style in Blackburn. It provides maximum privacy, is available in heights from 4ft to 7ft, and suits most residential garden boundaries across BB1, BB2 and BB3 postcodes.
What height fence do I need for garden privacy in Blackburn?
For standard garden privacy, 6ft (1.8m) close board fencing is the most popular choice. For maximum privacy, 7ft is available. Front garden boundaries typically use 3ft–4ft. We advise on the ideal height during free site surveys.
What is the difference between composite and wooden fencing?
Wooden fencing is more affordable upfront and gives a traditional look, but requires periodic treatment. Composite fencing costs more initially but is virtually maintenance-free, won't rot or warp, and typically comes with a 25-year warranty.
What wood types do Hulme Fencing use?
We use pressure-treated softwood (pine/spruce) for standard fencing, hardwood (oak, iroko, accoya) for premium gates and bespoke features, and wood-plastic composite for low-maintenance installations.
