Project Story
Mocha Composite Fencing Between Brick Pillars in Eccleston, St Helens
On Broadway in Eccleston, the timber fencing had started to rot, but the brickwork was still a feature of the driveway. DecKing replaced 17.2 metres of timber with Classic Mocha composite fencing, working between the existing pillars from the pavement right through to the garage.
The Challenge
The original diagonal timber boards met in a chevron pattern between red-brick pillars. Each bay sat on a low wall with dark coping bricks, and several pillars carried lights along the drive. The homeowner wanted a low-maintenance replacement that would sit naturally within the existing brickwork.
Five openings were 1.6 metres wide with 2ft-high infill. The other four were 2.3 metres wide with 3ft-high infill. A standard 1.8-metre board could span the narrower openings, but the wider bays needed an extra support.
The DecKing Solution
We stripped out the old, rotten timber fencing and cleared it from site, retaining the wall, coping bricks and pillar lights. We fixed black aluminium channels to the pillars and cut the horizontal Mocha boards to fit each opening.
In the narrower bays the boards run straight from brick to brick. In each wider opening we bolted an aluminium centre post to the wall and fitted two equal panels. Black top and bottom rails frame all 13 sections.
The Result
From the pavement, the lower panels keep the entrance open to view. Further along the drive, the taller panels follow the same horizontal lines towards the garage. The Mocha boards pick up the brown tones in the brickwork, while the slim black rails echo the dark coping.
The original wall and lights are still part of the driveway, and the homeowner has nine fewer bays of timber to paint or stain. The installation carries DecKing’s 10-year workmanship and materials warranty.
