There are trends for the fence you put up around your home. So, before looking for your timber fencing supplier, look at these three trends in fencing this year that are popular in and around Melbourne.
Eco-friendly wooden fences
With people becoming aware of how even our smallest choices affect our world, there is an increasing demand for eco-friendly fences. Being eco-friendly doesn’t mean making sure you are using eco-friendly materials, but also making sure that the process of creation and sourcing of the materials is environmentally friendly. Modwood is a good choice as this material is recycled wood. It recycles materials like wood flour and plastics and creates a stable material resistant to Australian weather and climate. So, by using such a fence, you are reducing waste and the demand for fresh wood. Other eco-friendly materials include bamboo and old wood.
Aluminium slat fencing
Another fencing style that is popular in Melbourne this year is the aluminium slat fencing. One of the reasons it is trending is because it can be found in colours that look like natural wood. So, you get to beautify your home with a timber-like fence but at half its cost! Moreover, it is easy to maintain and good for the environment as well as you are not using actual timber. Speaking of being environmentally friendly, aluminium fences tick the box quite well because the fences are easy to recycle. The fences can be used for all properties because they are very flexible and easily cut to fit the property’s design. Once installed, it can last for a long time without showing any damage.
Colorbond fencing
This type of fence is most in demand because it is made from high-grade steel designed to withstand Australian weather conditions. The fences made from Colorbond material don’t rust, rot or peel. Moreover, they are fire-resistant and perfect for those vulnerable to bushfires. People in Melbourne like them because they have a choice of 14 colours and 3 kinds of sheets from their supplier. You can talk with your Merbau decking supplier in Melbourne if they stock Colorbond.
