For landlords and property managers, choosing the right fencing is about balancing durability, cost-effectiveness, appearance and minimal maintenance. Strong, long-lasting materials are essential because rental properties experience more wear-and-tear and tenants may not be able to maintain fencing themselves.

Composite fencing is an ideal choice for rental properties due to its low-maintenance nature. It doesn’t need painting or staining and retains its appearance for many years. Timber, while cost-effective, requires periodic upkeep, so it may not be the best option unless you prefer a traditional look and are prepared to maintain it.

Closeboard fencing with concrete posts offers exceptional strength and longevity, making it suitable for properties where security and resilience are priorities. It also reduces the likelihood of call-outs for repairs after storms.

For smaller rental gardens, panel fencing with heavy-duty frames can provide a tidy, uniform appearance at a reasonable cost. Gravel boards are essential to protect panels from rot and moisture damage.

When choosing fencing for rental homes, consider privacy, pet safety, security and ease of repair. During your survey, we can advise on long-lasting, cost-effective options that minimise maintenance while maximising value.
