Wooden fencing prices

Good choice:

Do you want fencing that doesn’t cost too much money with a reasonably good lifespan? Then choose a simple fence made of impregnated wood with a garden door. You will then spend between £70 and £140 per m2 for the fence and between £70 and £350 for a garden door.

Better quality:

If you do prefer a fence made of stronger wood, then go for a hardwood fence with a swing gate. The cost for hardwood fencing is between £140 and £250 per m2, with a swing gate costing between £300 and £3,500 on average.

Most luxurious variant:

If you really want to invest in your fencing because you want to use it for as long as possible, then go for hardwood fencing with a sliding gate. Hardwood fencing costs between £140 and £250 per m2 and the sliding gate costs between £2,000 and £5,000.

Price structure wooden fencing

What choices determine the price of your wooden fencing?

When you are going to install wooden fencing, you need to consider the following choices:

Choice 1: Type of wood

• Impregnated wood: Wood that is impregnated is softwood, usually pine or spruce, which is protected from mould and insects by an impregnating agent. Impregnated wood is an excellent choice for fencing and will last about 15 to 25 years. A wooden fence made of impregnated wood costs between £70 and £140 per m2.
• Hardwood: Hardwood is the strongest type of wood and therefore has the best quality. Hardwood does not need to be treated and lasts more than 25 years. This means that hardwood does cost a lot more than impregnated wood. The cost of hardwood fencing ranges between £140 and £250 per m2.

Choice 2: Colour

• Stain: Often people choose not to paint their wooden fencing, as the colour of the wood is already beautiful by itself. Most wooden fencing has a reddish-brown colour when it is just installed, but over the years the wood greys. To counteract the greying, you can stain the wood with a transparent stain.
• Painting: If you want to paint your fencing in a beautiful colour, you should bear in mind that the fencing does require some maintenance. A painted fence needs to be updated regularly.

Choice 3: Gates

• Garden door: A garden door is suitable for fencing with a height of 180 cm or more, and provides a lot of privacy, as people do not have the opportunity to see through or over it. The price of a garden door is between £70 and £350.
• Walkgate: A walkgate is a small gate that is only suitable for pedestrians, cars cannot pass through it. A pedestrian gate costs between £200 and £300.
• Turnip gate: A swing gate is a wide gate with 1 or 2 doors that open inwards or outwards. The gate therefore needs extra space at the front or back. The cost of a swing gate averages £800.
• Sliding gate: A sliding gate is also a wide gate and needs extra space at the sides because it slides open to the side. The cost of a sliding gate averages £1,800.
• Electric swing gate: A swing gate is often made electric because the gates are heavy to open, especially with a wooden gate. It is also convenient if you want to go through it with your car because you don’t have to get out of your car to open the gate. The cost of an electric swing gate averages £3,000.
• Electric sliding gate: An electric sliding gate is made electric for the same reasons as a swing gate. For an electric gate, only 1 type of motor is available. The cost of an electric sliding gate is on average £5,000. For more information on gates, go to the page on gates.

Choice 4: Have fencing installed

If you have fencing installed, you’ll want it done right the first time so you can enjoy it for a long time. Therefore, have your fencing done by a specialist. Installation costs vary depending on what you have installed. A sliding gate is more expensive than a pedestrian gate. The table below shows the mounting costs. £ 130
