Complete privacy, zero upkeep.
At 1.8m, this is the classic full-height boundary most people picture when they think "garden fence." It blocks sightlines from neighbours, takes the edge off garden noise and gives a rear boundary a solid, finished, secure feel.
It's our most popular height, and the one that shows composite off best: a full run that stays smart for years with none of timber's cracking, greying or annual re-treating.
Every 1.8m panel is built from high quality composite that won't rot, warp, fade or splinter, and never needs painting, staining or treating.

FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a 1.8m fence?
As a general guide in England, garden fences up to 2m don't usually need planning permission — so 1.8m is typically fine — but the limit drops to 1m where a fence sits next to a road or footpath used by vehicles. Rules vary and listed buildings or conservation areas differ, so always check with your local authority before installing.
Is 1.8m the most private option?
Yes — it's our tallest standard height and blocks sightlines at standing height. Choose the flat profile for maximum privacy, as slatted has a defined line between boards.
Will a dark 1.8m fence make my garden feel smaller?
A full-height dark fence is bold and can feel enclosing in a very small garden — light grey or a slatted profile keeps things feeling more open. In most gardens, though, 1.8m dark grey reads as smart and architectural rather than heavy.
Do you offer other heights?
Yes.
