Fencing for your home, business & farm
At Shady Oaks, Rueben and his friendly team supply and fit fencing for your garden at home, farm, or business. We can install sturdy, privacy-boosting residential fences and reliable, practical fencing for businesses, farms and estates. We provide expertise and high-quality materials, and can also advise on the least expensive fencing options available.
Wooden Fence Panels – Classic, durable & versatile options
Wooden fence panels are a popular choice for many homeowners looking for both beauty and privacy. Panels are versatile, durable, and available in a variety of styles, from traditional closeboard to more decorative options. We source high-quality timber treated for durability, ensuring your fence panels stay strong and weather-resistant.
Close-board Fencing – Strong, secure & ideal for privacy
Closeboard fencing is a classic and durable choice for homeowners seeking maximum privacy and security. Often referred to as “featheredge” fencing, this style features overlapping vertical boards, which create a solid, high-quality barrier which is fully customisable to the topography of the land.
Fence Posts and Gravel Boards – Reliable support & protection for your fencing
Choosing the right fence posts and gravel boards are key to ensuring the longevity and stability of your fence. Wooden fence posts are the least expensive option which have a more natural look, but for added strength and durability, choose concrete fence posts. Gravel boards (wooden or concrete) —placed at the bottom of your fence—help protect the base of your fence from moisture, soil erosion, and damage from grass or weeds.
Post & Rail and Chestnut Fencing – Ideal for large areas, paddocks, & rural properties
For larger properties, agricultural use, or rural estates, post and rail fencing is the ideal choice. Often seen in large gardens, paddocks, and fields, post and rail installation offers a simple yet effective way to define property boundaries or enclose livestock. Rails are secured between sturdy wooden posts, creating a rustic and functional fence. Split rail chestnut fencing is an excellent option for those looking for a more traditional design.
Picket Fencing – Timeless, charming & perfect for curb appeal
Picket fencing adds a charming, traditional look to any residential property, perfect for front gardens or as a decorative boundary. We offer a variety of picket fence styles, from classic straight tops to more decorative, scalloped edges. Our domestic picket fences can be customised to suit your style and needs.
Hurdle Fencing – Rustic, traditional fencing for a natural charm
Hurdle fencing is a versatile, eco-friendly option perfect for both temporary and permanent solutions. Traditionally made from woven willow or other natural materials, hurdle fences are lightweight yet sturdy, and they can be used for a wide range of applications. They are commonly installed in gardens, as decorative features, or to create privacy screens, but they also serve well in agricultural settings for temporary enclosures or partitioning.

I would highly recommend Ruben for any fencing and garden services! He has done an amazing job for us! Our fence was rotten and falling apart plus our trees were in need of some attention. I’ve even got a little hole in the corner to allow my Hedgehog friend to return in the spring! Ruben call’s this a Hedgehog highway which I love! This can be seen in the pictures. Ruben completed this job professionally from start to finish! Clearing all rubbish away leaving the garden nice and tidy! Top job Ruben thank you

My old fence was being held up by the ivy and bushes growing through it. Reuben’s quote was very reasonable, and he did an excellent job, maintaining his good humour even when he had to dig out every one of the old concrete bases. His standards are very high, and he spent an extra day handcrafting a final panel to fit around a neighbour’s tree that straddled the boundary, not stopping until he was happy that it was perfect. Our gate was a non-standard size, and when he found out that a made-to-measure gate would be double the cost, he customised a standard one for us. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Reuben, and will be calling him back in future for other jobs

What a fantastic job done! Having recently moved into our new home it was important to us that the garden was made dog safe as quickly as possible. Rueben has not only improved the look of garden (hugely) with a great looking fence, but made sure that our new garden is dog safe. Very polite, hard working & very tidy. Thank you

We have used Reuben twice, first for a boundary post and rail fence in woodland and then to replace a picket fence and rotten decking. Both times we have been impressed by Reuben’s work and he just gets on with the job with no fuss. The finish is excellent and we would definitely use him again and not hesitate to recommend him.
