Wooden and iron garden fencing - Edinburgh & the Lothian’s

A well-designed and professionally built wooden or iron fence together with a suitable garden gate will perform all or at least some of the following function:

• mark the boundaries of your property,
• provide security (i.e. prevent unwanted people or animals from getting in and prevent children or pets getting out),
• improve the aesthetics by visually complementing your driveway, garden or patio,
• enhance privacy by creating a visual barrier,
• improve comfort by reducing noise or wind.

Wood is traditional, visually appealing, versatile, great for privacy and relatively inexpensive. On the other hand, timber fencing requires regular maintenance and is not as durable as metal fencing.

Iron fencing and railings are strong, durable, classy and beautiful. They need less maintenance and can be formed into many creative, decorative designs. On the minus side, it is the most expensive option (although with little care it will last pretty much forever) and it doesn’t provide privacy or screen out noise.

The right choice will depend on your particular needs. Lothian Paving will discuss your needs and help you choose the right type of a fence and gate to fit your needs. Whether you choose wrought-iron railings in keeping with the style of a townhouse, one of wooden fences such as traditional wooden fence panels or picket fencing, or a design that is custom created and made specifically for you, you can be sure that it will be built to last. We source the best components from reputable manufacturers and install them professionally with great attention to detail.

To complement your new fence, we will also provide and fit suitable gates: from attractive wrought iron gates or wood-and-metal gates that make an enviable statement at the entrance to your property, to wooden or iron garden gates for pedestrians, Lothian Paving will install a gate which will fit the overall look of your outdoor spaces and your practical needs.

Whether you require a simple safety handrail for stairs, a balcony or a raised terrace, or wrought-iron handrails with decorative features such as scrolls or other ornaments that will visually enhance the look of your outdoor space, Lothian Paving will advise you on safety considerations and suitable designs and fit them professionally to ensure strength and attractive appearance for years to come.
