Choose a maintenance-free garden fence that saves you time, effort and upkeep for years.
Tired of spending hours trimming your hedge every year?
You are not alone. Many customers in Flanders now choose maintenance-free Forest Avenue fencing as a durable alternative to a traditional hedge.
Our hand-woven designer fences provide immediate privacy, require no maintenance and retain their natural appearance for years.
Our woven fences combine the warm character of natural branches with durable materials that do not rot, need no painting and stay attractive for years.
If you choose a fence without visible intermediate posts, our specialists weave it entirely by hand at your property. The result is a seamless, continuous garden fence with a natural, elegant appearance.
Single-weave panels break up the view while subtly allowing light and air through. Ideal for combining privacy with an open, natural atmosphere. Perfect as garden fencing, terrace dividers or sun shading.
Double-weave panels are fully closed and excellent for extra privacy, with a natural appearance that fits any garden.

A hedge looks natural but also requires substantial maintenance. Depending on the species, it needs trimming once or several times a year to stay attractive and dense. See also our blog about hedge trimming. Leaves can fall, bare patches may appear and a young hedge often takes years to provide enough privacy. More garden owners therefore choose maintenance-free Forest Avenue fencing for immediate privacy, a tidy garden and more free time without annual trimming.

If you are looking for an alternative to a natural hedge in Belgium, the best choice mainly depends on your priority: maintenance, privacy, lifespan or appearance.

Our woven fences are designed to stay attractive for years without the upkeep required by traditional hedges or wooden fencing. No trimming, painting, treating or replacing damaged branches is needed. Occasional pressure washing is enough to keep the fence fresh and tidy. This saves time and effort as well as the recurring costs of maintaining a hedge.
Yes. This is one of the greatest benefits of a Forest Avenue fence. While a new hedge often takes several years to grow tall and dense enough, our fencing provides privacy from the day of installation.

Our maintenance-free woven fences are designed as a durable long-term solution. High-quality materials and carefully considered construction withstand daily exposure to sun, rain, frost and wind. Unlike natural hedges that can thin out or die, our fences retain their shape, structure and appearance for years. A Forest Avenue fence is therefore a lasting investment in your garden.
Absolutely. Belgium has a changeable climate with rain, wind, frost and increasingly hot summers. We therefore select materials for durability and weather resistance. They do not rot or warp and retain their appearance in a range of weather conditions. Your fence stays well cared for year after year, whatever the season.
Our fences are also popular outside Belgium, including France, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands and America, where they withstand different weather conditions too.

Although a hedge often costs less to buy, its long-term maintenance costs should not be underestimated. Trimming, garden waste disposal, replacing dead plants and possibly hiring a gardener add costs year after year. Maintenance-free Forest Avenue fencing is a durable solution providing immediate privacy with very little upkeep. Its total long-term cost is therefore often surprisingly attractive.
