Fencing & Gates

Boundary fencing and gates need to work hard and look good doing it. Knotwood’s aluminium fencing and gate systems, built on the same architectural screen range, bring a considered, architectural finish to a property boundary, in a material that doesn’t demand the upkeep timber does year after year. Aluminium gates get equal billing here, not an afterthought bolted onto the fencing range, since a feature entry gate is often the single most visible boundary element a property has.

Homeowners use them to replace tired timber fencing before it becomes a bigger job than a straight swap. Builders specify them for new estates where consistency across every boundary matters more than it would on a single property. Landscapers use them for pool surrounds and feature entry statements. Height and placement rules for garden boundaries can vary by local authority, so it’s worth checking with your council before finalising a design, particularly on a corner plot or in a conservation area.

Timber fencing is one of the more maintenance-heavy choices a homeowner can make. Exposed to sun, rain and constant ground moisture along its full length, it rots at the base, splits, greys and needs replacing well before the rest of the property needs attention. UK timber fence panels are a genuinely short-lived product for exactly this reason. Knotwood’s aluminium profiles deliver a decorative, timber-look fence built to outlast the ground-contact rot and damp that wears timber down at the boundary.
