Given Scotland’s often wet and cold climate, it’s essential to choose timber that is pressure-treated or treated with preservatives to prevent rot and decay. Common treated timber choices include pine, spruce, and more durable options like larch or oak for longer-lasting fences.
Each type of timber fencing has different applications depending on the level of privacy, security, and aesthetic appeal required, as well as the local weather conditions.
