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.
Knotwood Screens form the core fencing and gate panels, built on the same architectural screen range across both applications. They provide a dimensional, considered look that controls sightlines while still allowing airflow, an important balance for both street-facing boundaries and pool areas.
Yes. The profiles are lightweight and won’t warp or rust, and the powder coated finish provides the barrier against salt air. For coastal properties that is a real advantage over steel, which rusts, and over untreated timber, which weathers faster in salt-laden air than it does inland. On an exposed coastal boundary, specify the right fastener grade and wash the fence down with fresh water periodically to clear salt before it builds up on the finish.
Yes. It’s available in a wide range of colours, timber-look finishes and screen styles, and the modular system allows for different heights and layouts, useful given the planning considerations around boundary height covered above, a design can be adjusted to fit a permitted height rather than requiring a fixed panel size.
Aluminium is lighter than steel and easier to handle and install, and it does not rust the way steel does over the years a boundary fence is expected to last. On security specifically, how much resistance any fence offers depends on the height, the fixings, the post spacing and what it is fixed into, rather than the material alone. Tell us what the boundary needs to achieve and we will talk through the specification.
Aluminium is fully recyclable and can be reused at the end of its service life without loss of material quality. Its longer service life compared with timber means less frequent replacement, and less material going to landfill from a boundary fence that would otherwise need replacing every decade or so.
No. It won’t rust, warp or need regular painting, and a simple wash with soap and water usually keeps it looking fresh. That’s a genuine difference from timber boundary fencing, which needs periodic sanding, sealing or repainting just to keep pace with UK weather.
Yes. Many systems include integrated channels or mounting options for garden lighting or security components, and because the profiles are aluminium, they can be drilled and fitted with standard hardware without compromising the panel’s structural integrity, useful if lighting is being added after the fence is already up rather than planned in from the start.
Yes. The modular design allows for stepped or raked installation, so the fencing follows the ground’s contour rather than requiring a level substrate, relevant on the kind of sloped garden common outside newer, deliberately levelled estate plots.
It withstands the UK’s range of outdoor temperatures without warping, cracking or becoming brittle, performing consistently through cold, wet winters and warmer summers. The profiles also resist the damp conditions that cause timber fencing to deteriorate rapidly in the UK climate.
Aluminium suits pool surrounds well as a material, because it does not absorb moisture and will not swell, warp or rot in constant splash and humidity, and the screen-based system controls sightlines while still allowing airflow. Where a fence is acting as a pool safety barrier rather than a boundary or screen, that is a separate requirement with its own rules on height, gaps, climbability and self-closing gates. Tell us what the fence needs to do before you specify it, and we will confirm what we can supply.
Yes, and this is the point of building both on the same architectural screen range rather than treating gates as a separate product line. Gate panels share the same profiles, finishes and modular construction as the fencing either side of them, so a feature entry gate reads as one continuous design decision with the boundary either side of it, not a different product spliced in.
Aluminium gates are light enough to swing or slide smoothly without sagging over time, which is the practical failure point on a heavy gate. Reinforced profiles and double-sided designs are available where a heavier build is wanted. How secure a gate is depends mostly on the locking hardware, the posts and the foundations rather than the leaf itself, and Knotwood supplies the gate, not the locks or the automation. Talk to us about the opening and we will advise on what suits it.
Yes. Aluminium’s lightweight profile suits automation well, a lighter gate places less strain on the motor, supporting smoother operation and a longer working life for the automation equipment itself. Standard automation equipment can be integrated by a qualified installer for residential driveways and commercial entrances.
Properly installed, they’re typically quiet even in windy conditions, a genuine consideration given how often UK weather brings wind alongside rain rather than one without the other. Lightweight construction combined with quality hinges, latches and seals minimises rattling, and correct installation matters more to this than the material itself does.
Yes. Aluminium gates readily accommodate lights, intercoms and decorative elements, often through built-in mounting options for a clean installation. Because aluminium can be drilled and fitted with standard hardware, an intercom added after the gate’s already installed, common when a driveway gate gets upgraded to a smart entry system later, won’t compromise the finish or structural performance.
In England, a boundary fence, wall or gate up to two metres high is usually permitted development, dropping to one metre where it adjoins a highway used by vehicles. That changes if the property is listed, sits in a conservation area, or if permitted development rights have been removed by a planning condition, which is common on newer estates. The rules are set out in government planning guidance, and Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set their own. Check with your local planning authority before you settle on a height, particularly on a corner plot.
It matters more than most people expect. Your title deeds may show which boundary you are responsible for, and a shared boundary usually needs agreement with the neighbour before it is replaced. Aluminium fencing has two visible faces, so it is worth agreeing early which side gets which, especially where a design is directional. Sorting this before ordering avoids a fence going up and coming straight back down.
Often yes, and it is a common way to gain height on a boundary without rebuilding it. Panels can be fixed to posts set into or onto the existing structure, provided the wall is sound and can carry the wind load a fence adds. A low brick wall with a fence above it also changes the overall height for planning purposes, so measure from ground level rather than from the top of the wall.
That depends on the fence height, the panel spacing and how exposed the site is, since the posts and footings carry the wind load rather than the panel. A closed-up screen catches far more wind than an open one at the same height, which is the part people underestimate. Send us the layout, the height and the location and we will confirm the post and footing specification.
Panels are manufactured to order rather than held in every size and finish, so lead time depends on the profile, the finish and the quantity. Standard powder coated colours and timber grain finishes run faster than a bespoke colour. If the fencing is tied to a landscaping programme, tell us the dates early and we will confirm what is achievable.
