Over the past decade or so Liverpool has become a major player in the manufacturing of timber products, specifically panel fencing, garden sheds, summer houses, play houses and log cabins.

Throughout history certain villages, towns and cities in the north of England have been linked with a certain type of manufacturing industry, at the beginning of the last century you had a large number of fishing villages and cotton manufacturing towns as well as a number of coal mining towns and areas linked with the textile industry, this has now changed dramatically, the cotton and textile industries have all but vanished from our shores, most of our coal mines have closed and the fishing industry simply isn’t as profitable as it used to be, especially for small independent fishermen.

A new industry now seems to have risen from the ashes of these once great industrial times; this industry is the timber products industry namely the manufacturing of, amongst other things, timber panel fencing, garden sheds, cabins, summer houses and workshops. Even during the current recession these companies appear to be doing extremely well and business seems to be steady. A major factor in their apparent success is their location, giving them easy access to both their overseas timber suppliers and their customer base; this allows them to keep prices low and their customers happy.

Although garden sheds and summerhouse are still classed as an unnecessary luxury item, fencing on the other hand is classed as a necessity because once our timber fence panel become old, weathered or broken they need replacing, meaning that there will always be an abundance of work for fencing manufacturers as long as they provide a high quality service at a reasonable price and finding a fencing company in Merseyside is very easy as there are so many of them and the prices for Fencing in Liverpool is very competitive. A certain amount of competition is healthy and keeps prices down but the cheapest will not always be the best and anyone considering replacing their old fence panels should be cautious and vet a number of companies before making a decision. Our society has changed somewhat in recent years and rather than driving around visiting fencing manufacturer’s people now tend to simply search the internet and browse websites, this is great as you can see the products of offer and the price you expect to pay but i wouldn’t recommend simply ordering over the phone or via email as it’s possible that the website is a fake and you could get stung and end up being supplied with cheap budget fence panels like the ones for sale in DIY chains and garden centres, use the internet by all means, but once you have chosen a company that offers a good grade of fence panel at a reasonable price, visit their premise and satisfy yourself as to the legitimacy of the company and their products.

In summary, people in Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester are fortunate to live in an area where there are still a high number of good quality UK based professional timber manufacturing industries and homeowners should take advantage of the healthy competition that this creates by renewing items such as garden sheds, summer houses, workshops and panel fencing before they rot or weather and start to before an eyesore.
