Fencing is the most popular way to mark a boundary and is a cost-effective and easy-to-install option for your outdoor space – whether you’re replacing what you have currently, repairing it, or starting from scratch.

Fences can have many functions and our wide range includes options for all spaces. So if you’re enclosing your garden for privacy, securing the safety of your children or pets or creating zones within your garden, we’ll have something for you.

At B&Q, we offer four ways to construct fencing:

• Wooden fence panels - a ready-made section of timber fencing that's easy to install and available in a variety of designs, shapes and sizes
• Wooden fence boards - individual timber boards that create a run of fencing
• Metal railings - decorative balustrades that can standalone or be added to walls
• Modular fencing - mix and match items in a variety of materials that allow you to easily build your own unique fencing design.

Here we'll talk you through all four of these options to find the best fencing for you.
