6 tips for buying a fence
Are you looking for a new garden fence to secure and enhance your property? Then our guide is just right for you. We give you six tips on what to consider before purchasing a new fence – from the area of use to personal advice.
Checklist for Fence Purchase

- Easiest possible installation
- Check whether advice is available
Determining the Purpose
Before choosing a garden fence, consider its intended use. Depending on the intended use, different types of fences are available. Should the fence primarily be decorative or should it provide privacy?
A ornamental fence that serves a purely decorative purpose can be elaborately designed, like our Belluno fence, which features numerous ornaments.
However, when it comes to protecting your privacy, a privacy fence is the best choice. This reliably shields your property from prying eyes. At ELEO Express, you'll find a large selection of privacy fences with various modern designs.
Material Selection – Why Metal Is Unbeatable
There's a reason why metal fences are increasingly found in gardens, replacing traditional wooden fences. Wood is a beautiful, rustic material – that's beyond question. But it's also very fragile, requires a lot of maintenance, and is prone to weathering and instability over time.
In contrast, wrought iron fences are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable. In terms of durability and stability, they are unbeatable. Weather conditions can hardly harm a high-quality metal garden fence. The care and maintenance effort is minimal.
Design: Do you prefer classic or modern?
If you decide on a metal fence, the question of design automatically arises. Metal fences come in many different shapes. At ELEO Express, you'll find classic designs with ornaments and lace, exuding a nostalgic, elegant character. We also offer modern garden fences in simple designs.
The choice depends primarily on your personal taste. But the existing architecture of your property and garden is also crucial. For example, a distinctly modern metal fence is a better fit for contemporary architecture than for an old brick house.

Pay attention to quality features
As already mentioned, a metal fence is particularly durable. However, not every model is of such high quality that you will enjoy it for years. A good metal garden fence is robust, has clean welds, and a high-quality coating. At ELEO Express, we powder coat using the duplex process. This makes the fence significantly more resistant to corrosion – unlike a standard powder coating.
Installation of the fence: as simple as possible
When choosing a fence, also pay attention to how it is installed. The simplest possible installation – which you can ideally even do yourself – is always the best choice. This way, you don't have to hire an installation company, which saves a lot of money. Even in the event of repairs, you can do it yourself and don't have to hire an external tradesman.
Personal customer service is an advantage
If you buy your new fence online, make sure there is a customer service team you can contact personally if you have any questions – ideally by phone or email. It's very frustrating when you've found the product you're looking for, but you're still unclear about something and there's no direct contact person. Good customer service will address your questions and concerns individually, provide expert advice, and help you find the perfect fence for your needs.
