Why well-built boundaries make life easier
Privacy that suits the plot
We plan height, spacing and layout around the level of enclosure you want.
Gates that work cleanly
We focus on posts, hinges and clearances so the gate opens and shuts properly.
Repairs where they make sense
We can renew sections, posts and fittings instead of replacing everything at once.
Boundaries that do their job without looking thrown together
A fence line should do more than mark where the garden ends. It needs to balance privacy, boundary definition, airflow and security in a way that suits the property. We build garden gates and fencing in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire with that balance in mind, whether you need a simple run of fencing, a new gate, timber screens or matching privacy panels. We look at how enclosed you want the space to feel, how the boards are spaced and how the whole line sits in relation to paths, planting and access. That way the finished joinery feels like part of the property rather than a row of panels dropped in to tick a box.
Posts, hinges and ground conditions matter more than they sound
Gates and fences tend to go wrong when the unseen basics are weak. We pay close attention to posts, bracing, hinges, latches, clearances and ground conditions so gates close cleanly and fence lines stay stable. We can also build matching timber features such as bin stores, bike stores and screens to keep the outside space organised without spoiling the look. If sections are damaged, posts are leaning or ironmongery is worn, we can assess whether repair makes sense or whether replacement will give you a sounder result and less repeated aggravation.
Frequently asked questions
Can you match new fencing to existing timber work?
Often, yes. We can assess the current fence style, board spacing and proportions, then work out how closely new sections can tie in. If the older fencing is badly out of line or near the end of its life, we will tell you plainly if a broader replacement would look and perform better.
Why does a garden gate start dragging or stop closing well?
It is often down to movement in the posts, worn hinges, poor bracing or ground changes that alter the clearances. We inspect the gate and the support structure together, because trimming the edge alone rarely solves the real cause if the supporting timber has shifted.
Can privacy screens or stores be built to match the fence?
Yes. Matching screens, bin stores and bike stores can be a sensible way to make the outside area more organised without introducing another style of timber work. We plan them alongside the gate or fence so the sizes, lines and detailing work together.
