Did You Know?
Cut bamboo fencing is a much better sustainable alternative for eco-friendly gardens and comes in various styles, heights and widths. Mixed with other materials such as slate or concrete in an aluminium frame, it makes for a stunning contemporary look.
Different Types of Fencing
The six most popular types of fencing are:
- Timber
- Aluminium
- Steel
- Composite
- Chain-Link Mesh
- Wrought Iron
Strongest Fence Material
Steel fences or wrought iron fences are unbeatable for security fencing. Both of these options are incredibly strong with long lifespans. They're easy to maintain if you check the finish and repair any damage to avoid rust. Different heights, styles and finishes are available.
Cheapest Fence Material
The cheapest fence material is vinyl or PVC; however, extreme weather can damage the material quickly. It is not very eco-friendly, and algae, mould and mildew can cause staining.
Most Durable Fence Type
Chain-link fences with a galvanized finish that won't rust are the longest-lasting fences. All other fence components are made of steel and galvanized, so there is relatively no maintenance.

Common Gate Styles
Did You Know?
Today, aluminium is slowly replacing wood and wrought iron for fencing and gates. One of the main factors that make aluminium so eco-friendly is its ability to be recycled. Unlike other materials that will deteriorate over time, aluminium remains strong and doesn't loose any quality through the recycling process. Did you know over 70% of the aluminium currently being used is recycled!
Different Types of Gate
There are the four main types of gate:
- Garden gate
- Side gate
- Driveway gate
- Estate entrance gate
The most common gate materials are:
- Timber (both hardwood and softwood)
- Iron
- Aluminium
- PVC and vinyl
Cheapest to most expensive gate solutions:

There are also five main types of opening & closing styles:
- Manual - with standard padlocks and bolts
- Remote control - hooked to a motor and controlled by a small button remote.
- Pin-pad - Grants access with a code to a pin pad attached to your mains power.
- Swipe card - Similar to pin-pad entry, a receiver is inside and outside the gate.

Electrical Supply Access is Easy With Greenway
If you require remote access a motor is connected to your electrical supply. If there isn't easy access to electric, Greenway can bring your electricity supply closer to your gate.
Driveway Considerations
Driveway Slope
A swing gate isn't ideal if you have an upward slope at the entrance to your driveway. A swing gate can be installed if you use hinges that tilt the gate upwards as it opens. Some people have swinging gates with a large gap at the bottom which doesn't provide much security. It also lacks an attractive appearance. Bespoke solutions are available for additional costs.
Driveway Size
The size of your entry will also have a bearing on the cost. If it is an unusual size, you may have to have bespoke gates rather than buying a standard size.
Bespoke gates will cost more because are hand-made and take much more time and manual labour to produce.
Types of Opening & Closing Styles
- Manual - with standard padlocks and bolts
- Remote control - hooked to a motor and controlled by a small button remote.
- Pin-pad - Grants access with a code to a pin pad attached to your mains power.

Fencing & Gate Cost Considerations
For many homeowners, the primary consideration when deciding on the proper fencing and gates is the overall price of investment. This outlay covers the material and the labour involved in completing the job. Some materials are easier and quicker to install than others. Other systems are cheap to manufacture from local sources and don't have associated import fees or costs.
As a general rule, there are pros and cons for each type of material. Some options are much more budget-friendly but remember cutting costs isn't always the right choice.
Decision Making Criteria
Suppose you are trying to make a decision about your fencing or gate installation. In that case, you must factor in FOUR main criteria before choosing the company to install your chosen solution:
- Experience - Choose a team of skilled labourers and installers.
- Communication & Service - Ensure they are able to understand your needs.
- Holistic Approach - Make sure they take your whole property into consideration.
- Satisfaction Guarantee - Secure at least a five year warranty on the work and materials .
