One of the most important aspects of the modern garden is the amount of garden privacy it allows us. Even the most stunning and relaxing garden design can be an unpleasant space if your neighbours are free to stick their heads over the fence to see what you are doing. Similarly, if you don’t create a sense of garden privacy with your garden design, it may be all too easy to see and hear what your neighbours are doing.
Today, rubbing elbows with your neighbours is an inevitable part of life, especially if you spend a lot of time in your garden. Building any kind of private outdoor space is extremely important and it is becoming more and more luxurious all the time. Although they might not be ideal when it comes to your main exterior fence, trellis panels are starting to play an active role in creating private spaces in your garden.
Outdoor walls are always a great way to create private areas in your garden. However, using full fence panels can take away much of the joy as you block the breeze, the sun and the view from sight. That is just one of the places where trellis panels become essential. Thanks to the spaces in their design, they allow the sunlight and the breeze to easily pass through.
However, they can be a great option when it comes to obscuring you from nosy neighbours and can even be useful at preventing their sound from irritating you too much. Trellis panels can be particularly effective when placed on any patio, balcony or walkways that you have, as they can provide a comfortable and private area to relax without spoiling the great benefits you’ve come to enjoy.
One of the most popular options in garden design today is the use of living walls to protect your privacy. These living plant walls are essentially trellis panels which are covered in living flowers and climbing plants to create a stunning and natural aesthetic. These can provide high levels of privacy as well as being stunning to look at. In most circumstances, you won’t even care that living walls have a tendency to block the breeze and sunlight from your area. For the best results, it might be worth including a living wall in your trellis panel area as a feature piece, but not as the main wall.
Aside from living walls, a popular choice continues to be simple screens. These wooden frames will have a material stretched across them to allow sunlight to pass through, but are at risk of becoming damaged by adverse weather conditions.
Here at Challenge Fencing, we are able to provide a full range of trellis panels to ensure that you can create the private outdoor space of your dreams. Along with these panels, we can also provide full fencing solutions, landscaping features and much more. For more information or advice on creating your own perfect garden design, get in touch with our professional team today at your local Challenge Fencing branch.

Based on the great feature that they can provide to any garden, you’d be forgiven for thinking that creating a truly stunning raised flowerbed using garden sleepers was extremely difficult. However, it is actually extremely easy. The simplicity of the project is down to the robust and reliable nature of railway sleepers, whether they’re brand new or reclaimed versions.
There is a difference, however, between building a completely practical raised flowerbed, and one that combines usability with a truly stunning design. Building a simple raised flowerbed is a straightforward process, and much of the truly unique work comes in later, once the base has been built.
By following these simple steps, you can build a great raised flowerbed to truly make your garden a stunning environment. A raised area can really add a sense of depth to your garden space, and turn even the most limited and boring space into an exciting one that you’re really love to spend time in.
Here at Challenge Fencing, we can provide a range of railway and garden sleepers to make a real difference to your garden’s landscape. A raised flowerbed could be the perfect solution to breathing new life into your garden, and turning even the dullest of outdoor spaces into a truly exciting and beautiful atmosphere.
For more information on any of our new or reclaimed garden sleepers, don’t hesitate to get in touch with your local branch of Challenge Fencing today!

Adding fencing to your garden can make a huge difference to how it looks and behaves, especially if you opt for decorative fence panels that will add colour and style to any outdoor space! Whether you’re planning to update your small front garden so that it can be admired by passersby, or you’re looking for ways to enhance your small back yard, have a read of these fencing tips for small gardens!
Coming up with ideas to make your garden that little bit more perfect isn’t always that easy, and in fact, small gardens are often more complex to design as you really have to think about every inch of space available; make a mistake and you could limit what space you have even further! Good garden design makes a garden pretty, but phenomenal garden design not only adds beauty, but also increases usability!
There’s a great community of small garden owners who are determined to prove that their small gardens won’t stop them from creating an idyllic plot of land! Vertical gardening is a craze that has got people around the world using their decorative fence panels as backdrops for vertical vegetable patches, herb growing and more. This is a brilliant way to add charm to your tiny garden and still have room for a garden chair to relax!
Top tip: Why not use wall trellis panels to not only extend the height of your garden, but also encourage and support plant growth?
Choose a variety of complimenting plants and flowers to trick the eye into thinking your garden is larger than it actually is; light and bright colours are best for this, but don’t be afraid to mix it up a bit too. A range of colours will make the whole space feel a lot more positive and welcoming!

It might feel like winter outside, but spring is just around the corner. The cold weather might delay all those spring gardening plans you had, but it really shouldn’t stop you from designing the perfect garden layout. The right fencing panels can make a huge improvement to your garden and boost its aesthetical appeal, and when the lovely spring weather finally does come around, you’ll have a gorgeous setting in which your flowers can bloom. Here’s how you can enhance the ambiance of your garden in a few straightforward steps!
Snow up and down the country might be causing several delays at the moment, but we’re confident it’ll warm up soon! Whether you’re installing a new fence because your old one hasn’t been changed since the turn of the century, or you’re considering fitting additional fencing to extend your property’s borders, beautiful wooden fences can add a warm ambience to your garden without the seemingly necessary sunshine.
Creating a truly private exterior space where you and your other half, children and other loved ones are able to unwind and really enjoy time spent together is fundamental to a successful garden. If it’s too exposed to noisy traffic or neighbours who love to snoop, you’re less likely to use it as the communal space it should be. While installing the right fence panels can make your garden feel much more homely, there are other things you can do to create the perfect back yard this season!
We have a brilliant range of wooden fencing panels to suit your budget here at Challenge Fencing. Whether you’re interested in our great value and practical overlap fence panels, or are looking for something a little more decorative, why not ask us for a quote today and transform your garden? Visit one of our branches to talk with an advisor, or simply give us a call! You can find all of our contact information here. Happy fencing!
