Jacksons, Grange, or Forest fencing?
Hi there,
I joined this forum to solicit advice regarding a garden fence. I'm willing to pay a premium for a better quality fence. I am attracted to Jacksons fencing as it looks like a quality product (I am considering their horizontal hit and miss fencing), and their fencing appears to get very good reviews. They offer a 25 year guarantee (against rot and insect attack) and say that their fencing has been pressure treated utilising their own trademarked process (https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/treated-fencing). They also say that their fencing doesn't need further treatment (staining, painting, etc.). This appeals to me although I do feel that despite their 25 year guarantee, no additional aftercare may compromise the longer term future of the fencing, despite their claims. One customer states that the fencing weathers to a nice silver grey. The other two fencing manufacturers mentioned in my header pressure treat their fencing and offer a 20 year guarantee (Grange) and 15 year guarantee (Forest). Both Grange and Forest do the same style of fence, and I also like the Grange's contemporary Vogue panel, which appears to get good reviews. Forest fencing gets some poor reviews over interminable quality. Both Grange and Forest are cheaper than Jacksons, in some cases by over a thousand pounds. Strangely, a lot of Grange's fencing is currently out of stock in a lot of online shops. Is it worth paying such a premium for Jacksons (better quality?, longer guarantee, promises of not having to treat), or does anyone have experience of the other two brands? Grange has got back to me and said that their fences being pressure treated it is up to the customer whether to further treat the fence, as long as I follow the instructions to keep the warranty valid. I haven't heard back from Forest.
Many thanks in advance for any input.

@Nanny Beach you can come and sing in my garden any time - I actually don't very often although we're quite isolated but on a main road so I worry that passing cars might be distressed if they hear me!
@Singing Gardener since installing your Jackson acoustic fence, did you hear a noticeable difference in traffic noise after the fence was installed? Thanks!
