The biggest advantage of Jacksons Fencing Chilham Fence Panels is they look the exact same on both sides, so neighbors will like them as well as there is no bad side to them. They are based on a classic board and batten design however with Jacksons planed and chamfered timber they have a modern twist to the traditional fencing design.

Jacksons Fencing come with a 25 year guarantee making it a safe investment compared to other options. The cost of replacing fence panels and/or posts two or three times over 25 years includes the cost of materials, but also the cost of multiple waste removals, the labour to install the fencing multiple times, and you also have the advantage of looking at a beautiful handmade fence. Over a 15-25 year length of time, no other fencing product will have the same return on investment.

This fencing project had 1 elevation change, from the decking down to the lower grass area which makes up the bulk of the garden. The clients preference was no visible partial fence panels so we stepped the full panel out from the patio, which also provides more privacy on the upper patio area. The fence then drops down after it extended out past the raised patio by 1 metres. This required reinforcing the triple gravel boards to ensure they stay in position and do not twist and separate over time.

The previous fencing had begun to rot and the old double gates had dropped and fallen out of alignment with eachother making it impossible to close them securely. The clients regularly use the side gate, as the weekly tradesmen entrance for the gardening team. The brick piers were in various states, with some having failed mortar which required resetting and one to the left of the double gates being completely out of level. This post was deemed to be outside the scope of this project,

As always, we recommended Jacksons Fencing products for their quality, detail, and 25 Year Jakcure Service Life Guarantee. All materials had to be customised on site to fit the area. The bays between the brick piers on this bespoke fencing project in Wimbledon SW19 were all different heights and widths so standard products would not work. If you are familiar with SW19 post code, this property is at the top of a steep hill leading from Ridgeway and Wimbledon Village down to Wimbledon town centre, so to offset the varying height changes on the street, It was decided the top line would be consistent on either side of the entry for consistency.

The double gates are hung on galvanised steel posts which have been clad with matching timber to the gates. The gates themselves have a galvanised steel frame within the body of the doors to prevent them from dropping over their lifespan. They have also been factory fitted with a Jacksons Fencing J Lock which is keyed on both sides. They also have drop bolts for both gates to make it east to secure the property. The posts and centre drop bolts have been cleaned up with freshly laid tarmac to provide an easy to clean and maintain area.

The clients also had an old Oak Pedestrian side gate which we refinished taking off decades of stains and greyed wood fibres bring it back to its former glory,

This garden project was nearly complete redo. The old garden had been designed well, with Decking coming out from the kitchen extention, 2 brick planter beds Framing the Decking steps, and then paving going to the back area where there was a shed on a concrete slab. The main issue was the Bamboo had taken over significant parts of the garden making most of the space unusable, the Decking frame was rotted out and unsafe, and the rendering on the brick Planters was cracked and broken off in sections.

The first part of the project was to remove the old decking, and install their new fencing and rear gate. For the Fencing the clients selected Jacksons Fencing in Featheredge Panels with a matching Jacksons Fencing Gate.

During the fencing build the clients decided to have all of the Bamboo removed, This is a significant task so a specialist company came in to dig this out. The Bamboo had grown under the concrete pad of the shed so the shed and concrete was also removed.Once this was done they also replaced their rear doors with new bi-fold doors, then a rendering specialist came back and did the rear wall and re-rendered the 2 raised beds.Then it was back to us to build the new decking frame.

For the Decking Frame we used Jacksons Fencing Decking Joists with their 25 Year Service Life Guarantee. The frame was supported by 3 rows of Bearers set onto notched composite Posts cemented into the ground. All Joists were taped using Walther Strong Joist Tape to protect the tops of the Joists from excess water damage. Finally we added our Landscaping Fabric and Gravel to prevent weed growth under the deck.

For the Decking the clients chose the always stylish Millboard Enhanced Grain Decking boards with Bullnose Boards for the exterior border and leading edge of the steps. They selected Ashwood, one of Millboard new colours introduced in 2024.

The back of this garden was largely unusable. Healthy lawn struggled to grow due to a lack of daylight, the side fencing had collapsed. The clients decided to turn the rear of their property into a highlight of their garden with a beautiful multi-use garden work out room with heating and air-conditioning, wrapped with beautiful composite decking, with a multi-use exercise ladder frame projecting through the decking, and new premium fencing to complete the transformation.

Fencing

Jacksons Fencing Tongue & Groove. Our most popular Fencing products.

For the fencing the clients selected Jacksons Fencing Tongue & Groove Panels with Jacksons Planed Smooth Posts and Capping Rails. While these can be stained in any colour you would like (once the Preservative has fully dried) they will naturally silver from exposure to UV light. No staining, painting, or treatment of any kind is required for Jacksons Fencing Jakcure 25 Year Service Life Guarantee.

Decking

Trex Transcend Tropicals Island Mist.

For the Decking, the clients selected Trex Transcend composite decking in Island Mist. This decking is one of our favourites due to its colour tones and for it’s durability. All of our clients love it as it is so straightforward to clean. A Mop and soapy water, a quick rinse afterwards with the garden hose and it’s ready for company. Learn more about Trex Transcend Decking by clicking here: Trex Transcend Decking

This decking comes in Grooved Edge boards, Square edge boards, with matching Fascia Boards for the front of the deck. One of the key advantages of Trex Transcend Decking is that it is a 24mm thick solid decking board which also has a compatible Screw and Plug system as well as the Trex Hidden Clip system. The Screw and Plugs mean you can secure the boards to your decking frame, covering the screw holes with the plugs which blend perfectly with the rest of the deck. No visible fixings with the strength of face fixed decking screws.

For this project we were removing the fencing on both sides of the garden, trimming back extensive growth over one of the fence lines, and installing new Jacksons Fencing. The client selected Jacksons Fencing Hit & Miss Fencing with a Diamond Trellis on top.

We also excavated, lifted, and reassembled and reinstalled the climbing frame into a position more suited to the garden.

Rot Free Decking Subframe Supports Installation

This project had a combination of soil and also a large concrete pad underneath the old decking. As we always work to have no timber in contyact with the ground we used our two most popular rot free post options. For the decking over the concrete pad we used 100mm x 100mm Plastic Composite Posts, notched for the joists to sit on, which are 100% rot free. For the decking over the soil we used Supreme Concrete Dekposts which are made with notches for the joists to sit on. Supreme Concrete Dekposts are factory made of preformed concrete with 2 bolt holes and are 100% rot free.

Timber Decking Frame Installation

For our higher level of decking we used Use Class 4 Treated Timber Joists which are 50mm x 150mm dimension. For our lower level decking we used Use Class 4 Treated Timber which is 50mm x 100mm dimension. All of these timbers are treated to a much higher level than standard Treated Timber to ensure they last longer against insect attack wood rot.

We tape the top of the joists with Trex Protect Joist Tape. This tape protects the joists:

1. Trex Protect Joist Tape protects the timber decking joists and frame from water which pools on top of the flat surface of the decking joists between the decking boards. This prevents it from soaking into the wood as it stays on top of the tape until it evaporates naturally.
2. Trex Protect Joist Tape forms a watertight seal around the decking screws to prevent water from travelling down the screw thread into the middle of the decking joists and getting into the middle of the timber decking joists.

Trex Composite Decking Installation

For this project the clients selected Trex Enhance Naturals in Toasted Sand (light brown) for their main decking areas. The picture frame border around the deck is Trex Transcend Spiced Rum.

1. Trex Enhanced Naturals decking is installed using Trex Hidden Fixings and Trex Starter Clips with no visible screws.
2. Trex Transcend decking is installed using Starborn ProPlug screws which are hidden with a cortex plugs.

This combination, using Trex Transcend as the picture frame border, combined with any Trex products for the main body of the decking, means no screws are visible on the deck. We always recommend clients use Trex Transcend for the Picture Frames on their Trex Deck project for this specific reason.

The darker colour of the Spiced Rum also highlights all of the elevation changes, from the turf to the lower level deck, and from the lower level deck to the upper level deck. By the rear doors we matched the height of the door drip tray for a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors.

We also had an unusual ledge alongside the garage to contend with which was at varying heights and included some unattractive visible pipework to the garage. We boxed this in using Trex Transcend decking and made a shelf alongside the garage.

Rear Garden Jacksons Fencing

After discussing the decking, the clients also decided they would use Oilcanfinish Outdoor Living to install their fencing in the rear garden. Their neighbors were in the midst of a House Extension so part of the old fencing had already been removed.

The clients selected Tongue & Groove effect fencing from Jacksons Fencing. This is by far our most popular fencing over the years due to its contemporary appearance combined with the classic style of tongue and groove. As always we used Jacksons Fence Posts and Gravel Boards. Jacksons Fencing Capping Rails, which run along the top of the fence provide the polished finishing touch.

One of the bid advantages of replacing your fencing prior to completing your decking or paving project is that you can then build your new deck or paving right up to your new fence safe in the knowledge you have a 25 year guarantee from Jacksons Fencing.

Front Garden Picket Fencing

One additional section which needed attention was in the front garden between the house and the curb. The old fencing was long gone so a new Jacksons Pallisade Fencing was installed. There was some scaffolding blocking the fence route so this section will be completed once the scaffolding at the neighbors comes down.

The post Trex Composite Decking in Wandsworth SW18 appeared first on Oilcanfinish Outdoor Living.

The front garden Fencing had rotted out and the gate was almost unusable. They opted for Jacksons Fencing with matching Gate. Having had us install Jacksons Fencing at their previous property they knew exactly what they wanted here when we arrived.

In the rear garden, there was a timber deck which was set below ground level so the decking Boards were level with the Paving. This looks superb when new, however it does require composite or aluminium Framing due to the low levels of air circulation in these types of decks. In this instance, the frame had rotten out in sections and the decking was dangerous.

The last piece of the puzzle was an old Trellis section which had seen better days. We showed our clients a similar project we had carried out the previous year and the Trellis Partition Wall was also added to the project.

Trellis Partition Screen Wall

For this section of the Garden Remodel we used Jacksons Fencing Vertical Tongue & Groove Fencing at 90 cm height for the bottom section and Jacksons Fencing Premier Trellis Panels for the top combined with their Posts, Gravel Boards and Capping Rails. This sections off the 2 areas of the garden, creates a space for climbing plants if desired, with an easy to navigate walk through. We left the walk through area exactly 1.03mt wide in case the clients decide to add a Jacksons Fencing Trellis Gate in the future.

Riven Sandstone Paving

We replaced the decking with Londonstone Riven Sandstone Paving to match the rest of the paving which was installed. There was a step made of timber decking to the lounge door which we also replaced, building a brick wall step which matches the steps to the kitchen in terms of design, colour, and layout. This paving is sitting on a compacted bed of MOT Type1 to prevent movement over time. We also extended the inset planter bed to match the other side of the rear garden. The paving was pointed with a natural looking Pointing Compound which replicates a Sand and Cement Mortar mix without the naturally occurring cracking which often occurs.

Front Garden Jacksons Tongue & Groove Fencing and Brook Gate

For the front garden we replaced the old gate which was catching on the paving as it had dropped, and removed the old fencing. We installed Jacksons Fencing Vertical Tongue & Groove Panel Fencing with one section trimmed to match the neighbors slat Fencing angle. The entry was finished with a Jacksons Fencing Brook Gate with a Stainless Steel Long Throw Keyed Lock. We always add a Capping Rail above our Gate installs to reduce the chance of movement over time which most gates experience. The Capping Rail keeps both posts the identical distance they should be regardless of timber expansion or contraction meaning the hinges and locks won’t require seasonal adjustments.

We combined the attractive pricing of Trex Enhance Basics Decking for the main deck colour with the hidden installation option of Starborn Pro Plugs and Trex Transcend Decking for the exterior borders to create a large deck that fits into its surroundings, with clearly defined borders and step elevation changes.

The steps are all highlighted with Trex Transcend Lava Rock (dark brown) which increases the visibility of the elevation changes with the Trex Enhance Basics Decking in Saddle (lighter brown).

To give the deck a natural countryside finish we installed Jacksons Fencing Timber Ballustrades using their Planed Smooth Jacksons Posts and Capping Rails for a smooth natural looking finish that combines both a traditional look with modern touches.

With a large deck like this, ensuring the design leaves the owner with an easy to clean surface was a key feature. The decking boards are perpindicular to the house meaning using a garden hose to spray down from the deck, or a blower to remove leaves, from the house outwards to the outer edge. The Ballustrade is approximately 3cm above the decking boards and this slight gap between the vertical Ballustrade Slats and this allows debris to be cleared off the deck easily from maximise the low maintenance nature of this large deck.

The lighting runs around the perimitre of the deck highlighting the boundary to increase visibility in the evening of the edges and the elevation changes on the 3 staircase steps.

The entire Decking frame is built with Use Class 4 Timber set on Supreme Concrete Dekposts, which are rot free ensuring the decking frame, with no timber in contact with the ground, lasts as long as it should. The frame has no bolts connected to the house, instead having a small 5mm gap between the frame and the house allowing rain water to run freely down the walls of the house and to the ground surface to ensure excess water does not rot out the timber frame nearest to the house, which is a common point of failure for most decks we remove.
