The site is jointly owned by Wirral Borough Council and The National Trust and managed by Wirral Rangers.<br/> Thurstaston is a popular spot with walkers for the superb views, at just 90m above sea level, it offers some of the best views the Wirral has to offer, from the summit of Thurstaston Hill the views encompass the Liverpool skyline. </p><p>The site was previously managed solely by the local authority, and all the entrances and internal paddock fences had stile; so the rangers began a program of replacing them with Jacksons products including kissing gates and adding field gates for vehicular access. </p><p><img src="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/pages/multimedia/db_image.image?CrnID=-1&id=25983&width=503&height=284&quality=85&crop=False&percent=0&vm=0" alt="National Trust Quality Gate" longdesc="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/News/news/National%20Trust%20Quality%20Gate" width="503" height="284"/></p><p>Ranger Phil told us; ‘I think we have around 12 field gates and 12 kissing gates (approx.) I would say they are mostly between 19-23 years old. Thurstaston is open to the public all day every day and we get a lot of visitors and kids love swinging on the kissing gates or climbing over the field gates and they have all survived so far!’ </p></div>New Tartan Trellis Design for Jacksons Fencinghttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/new-tartan-trellis-design-for-jacksons-fencing2016-08-15T10:33:22.000Z2016-08-15T10:33:22.000ZAnna @ Jacksons Fencinghttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/AnnaJacksonsFencing<div><p>Jacksons Fencing, a UK market leader in the fencing and gate industry, has introduced an exciting new product to its premium garden <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/fencing/type/fencing-panels.aspx" target="_blank">fencing panel range</a>.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/fencing/secret-garden-collection/trellis-tartan/secret-garden-collection-trellis-tartan.aspx?agid=877" target="_self" rel="nofollow">Tartan Trellis panel</a> is a refreshing new spin on traditional trellis; designed by placing the batons at irregular spacings creates a distinctive pattern effect, rather reminiscent of plaid or tartan, giving the new product its name.</p><p>First introduced to the gardening world last month when it featured at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, 22 panels created an elegant boundary that allowed light and air to filter through it. This was seen by the many thousands of visitors who flocked to the show's famous Butterfly Dome area. Earlier research of ours indicated that there was an opportunity in the market for a modern stylish trellis product. </p><p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314741320?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/3314741320?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"/></a></p><p><span>As with all Jacksons timber products, the Tartan Trellis is manufactured from Jakcure® treated timber and comes with a </span><a href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/Guarantees.aspx?agid=877" target="_self" rel="nofollow">25-year guarantee</a><span>. </span></p></div>The Jacksons Guide to Planning Your Deckinghttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profiles/blogs/the-jacksons-guide-to-planning-your-decking2015-02-24T12:48:04.000Z2015-02-24T12:48:04.000ZAnna @ Jacksons Fencinghttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/AnnaJacksonsFencing<div><p><strong>Why Choose Decking? </strong></p><p>Most people choose to have a deck built so they have a space between the garden and the house in which they can entertain guests, use as an outdoor dining area, an area to relax in warmer weather or simply to improve the look of a certain area of their garden.</p><p>For people who own homes on the smaller side it can also be seen as an extension of the living area and cost less than an extension made of bricks and mortar. Choosing to install decking over hard surfaces and patio can also reduce the amount of excavation and ground work preparation and it can be easily modified to suit any shapes, sizes or uneven ground.</p><p><strong>Planning Permission </strong></p><p>In some cases planning permission for building a deck will be required and Jacksons would always recommend checking with your local authority before work begins. </p><p>A couple of the indicators as to wether planning permission is required are;</p><p>•<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>If your deck is raised over 300mm off the ground</p><p>•<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>Together with other extensions, outbuildings etc, they cover more than 50 per cent of the garden area</p><p><strong>Measurements</strong></p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/pages/multimedia/db_image.image?CrnID=-1&id=6093&width=200&height=150&quality=85&crop=False&percent=0&vm=0" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/pages/multimedia/db_image.image?CrnID=-1&id=6093&height=150&quality=85&crop=False&percent=0&vm=0&width=200" width="200" class="align-left"/></a>When it comes to measuring the area of the deck you require you would measure the length and width in the case of a square/rectangle shape deck. But for unique shapes you would measure every outer edge to each change of direction and from there you should be able to work out the materials required. </p><p>But don’t panic with measurements, if you need some help speak to a member of our sales team who would me more than happy to talk to you about your project and work out exactly what is required and give any advice.</p><p><strong>Materials</strong></p><p>We offer two types of board. A heavy duty 150mm x 32mm (nominal) board and a standard 100mm x 25mm (nominal) board. These would sit on timber joists which measure 100 x 50mm 3m or 3.6m long and a 150 x 50mm 3.6m long. The joists are set at every 450mm – 600mm depending on how the deck will be used. </p><p>If you are unsure then we would always recommend working on a worst case scenario and putting the posts in at the shorter 450mm centres.</p><p>With a Jackson’s timber deck we use 100mm machine round support posts which would be concreted into the ground.</p><p>These have a 25 year guarantee against rot and insect attack above and below the ground. As standard you would set the posts in the ground as follows:</p><p>•<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>600mm long posts set in 200mm of concrete leaving 400mm above ground<br/> •<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>900mm long posts set in 200mm of concrete leaving 600mm above ground<br/> •<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>1200mm long posts set in 300mm of concrete leaving 900mm above ground<br/> •<span class="Apple-tab-span"> </span>1800mm long posts set in 450mm of concrete leaving 1400mm above ground<br/> <br/> All of Jackson’s timber decking materials is of soft wood and comes with <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/Guarantees.aspx" target="_self">our 25 year guarantee</a> against wood and insect attack and have also been given an environmental seal of approval by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) - which means that choosing a Jacksons timber deck is an environmentally beneficial choice. </p><p>When cutting or drilling our treated timber products it is essential to apply <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/product/sc_131212/jakcure-end-grain-preservative-500g.aspx?tpc=AA&fmc=EK&fnc=AX&timber=1" target="_self">Jakcure End Grain Preservative</a> to ensure cut timber is not left untreated. This will also keep your 25 year Jakcure Guarantee valid. Where possible keep any cut sections out of the ground.</p><p>Every garden decking project is different. There is no one average size so a rough estimate before planning and measuring your deck is very difficult. In my opinion you get what you pay for. Jackson’s materials are at the top end of the market and when comparing to other suppliers can seem rather expensive but the quality of product and service offered is definitely worth the price and with the 25 year guarantee you can be assured you will receive a low maintenance but top quality product.</p><p><strong>Maintenance & Safety </strong></p><p>When planning your deck ensure you space deck boards apart to allow water to drain away easily. Brush your deck regularly to keep any debris like leaves and rubbish from building up in drainage spaces. Debris can hold moisture and the resulting rotting of the debris can lead to unsightly staining on the boards. Move planters, tables and chairs around the deck to allow the deck to dry out under them and to avoid irregular lightening of the boards by the sun. <br/> <br/> Our timber decking boards are grooved to reduce the risk of slipping, but timber is a natural material and there will always be limitations, especially as they weather and algae grows on them. The addition of two grit strips to each board significantly improves the slip resistant properties in all weathers. This makes them an ideal choice for steps and areas of high traffic.<img width="200" height="134" align="right" alt="Garden balustrade panel" src="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/pages/multimedia/db_image.image?CrnID=-1&id=6236&width=200&height=134&quality=85&crop=False&percent=0&vm=0"/></p><p>As well as decking we sell a timber <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jacksons-fencing.co.uk/decking-balustrade.aspx" target="_self">Balustrade</a> panel that gives a finished height of 950mm and is supplied in pre-assembled panels. These garden balustrade panels come in two different styles, acting both as a hand rail and safety feature. The posts for these panels can either be bolted down to the deck itself or be over length and concreted into the ground a minimum of 600mm. We also offer a gate to match both styles of Balustrade.<br/> <br/> Decking is a great addition to almost any garden and I hope this guide offers some help. Any questions please get in touch. </p></div>
