Keeping The Children Safe

Not only can garden fences be things that demarcate a boundary but they can also protect and look pleasing at the time.

We all possess an innate need to cherish and keep the things that we hold most dear safe and protected. When it comes to the garden not only do we want to keep those costly shrubs and perennials safe from predators but more importantly our off-spring. The desire to explore when we’re very young is an irresistible urge, so as adults it’s important that we create an environment that gives the illusion to a young mind that they’re heading out into the wild!

This was the dilemma faced by Norma, a switched-on grandparent who lives near Bude. She quickly realised she had the space to allow her grandchildren free-rein in the garden but that its boundary certainly wasn’t impervious. Gaps here and there, that wouldn’t have got a second thought from an adult’s perspective, would certainly attract the curiosity of a young mind. Faced with this problem, Norma hunted around, did her research and when satisfied made contact with Colourfence.

And here’s why. Colourfence provides an exceptional blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal unmatched by many other products of a similar ilk. Its robust and durable construction ensures robust security and protection for your garden whilst being completely maintenance-free. Something that certainly gave a big tick to one of Norma’s requirements. This translates to significant long-term savings, both financially and in terms of time and effort, as you won’t need to spend hundreds of pounds or countless hours on treatments and upkeep required by alternative products.

Olly Daglish, director of Colourfence Cornwall, and his team set about bringing Norma’s dream to fruition. A site survey and discussion resulted in some ground work being done in preparation for the installation of the new structure. All went smoothly with the big test coming a few days after the work team had finished on site. Reporting back Norma says she has counted all the grandchildren out, and counted them all back in. Not one escapee!
