How to Choose the Right Fence Height for Your Garden

Fence height changes both privacy and the way a garden feels. The right choice is not simply 'as high as possible'; it should suit the purpose of the boundary, the garden proportions and any project-specific requirements that apply to the property.

01

1.0m: low definition

A 1.0m boundary can define an edge without creating the same sense of enclosure as a taller fence. It can work well where the objective is separation rather than strong privacy.

02

1.2m: balanced screening

At 1.2m the boundary becomes more visually significant while still feeling relatively open. It is often considered where partial screening is more important than complete privacy.

03

1.5m: increased privacy

A 1.5m fence provides a stronger screen and can suit gardens where seating, entertaining or neighbouring sight lines make privacy more important.

04

1.8m: maximum standard privacy

A 1.8m configuration is the strongest standard privacy option within the Pinnacle configurator and is often selected for rear garden boundaries and entertaining areas where screening is a priority.

05

Check the project requirements

Boundary position, local requirements and property-specific restrictions can affect what is appropriate. The website helps you configure the product, but you should confirm any planning, covenant or neighbour-boundary requirements relevant to your own property before installation.
