A price per metre tells only part of the story. Discover what to compare when budgeting for a complete woven garden fence.
You are researching garden fencing prices, but the figures are difficult to compare. One quote covers panels only, while another includes posts, finishing and installation. A useful comparison therefore starts with the same specification and the same work. That helps you choose a fence that suits your garden and your budget.
A long, straight boundary needs a different approach from a short run with corners, changes in level and a garden gate. Access matters too. Always ask what the price per metre is based on: the total length, the finished height and every component needed to install the fence.
Compare the total project price as well. Delivery, removal of an existing fence or groundworks may sit outside the advertised price per metre. Ask for a clear description of what is included and whether the figures include VAT.
Single, flat and double weaving each have their own character. Double weaving is particularly useful where screening from view is the priority. Decide how much privacy you want first, then compare prices for that specification. Our weave comparison helps you choose.
Ask which posts are included and how the base of the fence is constructed. A concrete gravel board, a bottom profile and other finishing elements do not necessarily serve the same purpose. What is required and possible depends on the system and the weave. Have those details stated in each quote.
A garden gate also needs its own specification: dimensions, opening direction, lock and connection to the woven fencing. You will appreciate a complete, consistent finish every day.
If you are installing the fence yourself, compare a material supply that includes the necessary fixings and installation information. If you want the fence installed, also consider preparation, foundations, assembly and finishing. Ask whether removal of old materials and reinstatement of the surrounding area are included.
Provide the total length, the desired height and a few overview photographs. Mark corners, changes in level and any access openings. Say which weave and colour appeal to you and whether you want delivery or installation. This allows Forest Avenue to prepare a proposal that reflects your actual project more closely.
Our advice: decide on the result you want, then compare complete quotes. A lower starting figure is only meaningful when the scope is equivalent.
Can I compare different fence panels by price per metre? Yes, if the height, posts, weave, finishing and included work are equivalent. Otherwise, ask for a breakdown first.
Why is there no fixed guide price here? Without a defined specification and installation conditions, one figure could be misleading. We will gladly prepare a proposal based on your measurements and photographs.
