Securing your garden or delimiting your property can raise several questions. Rigid mesh fencing or flexible mesh? Wooden fencing or PVC privacy panels? Combine aesthetics with function for a stunning result!
What types of fencing should you use?
It all depends on your expectations! If your goal is to delimit your outdoor areas, you can choose flexible mesh fencing. This offers a boundary that is easy to install without necessarily requiring a professional. This makes this solution, which offers a wide range of products, the most affordable on the market.
Mesh fencing offers a wide range of possibilities. Among the existing models, you can opt for single, double, or triple twist, a weave of horizontal and vertical wires. You also have the choice between electro-welded mesh or knotted welded mesh. The latter are particularly used in the agricultural world, which notably uses this type of mesh fencing for animals and livestock, such as sheep.
If your choice leans more towards rigid mesh fencing for increased security, several models exist here as well. Double wire or rigid mesh panels? The Districlos Occitanie store, near Toulouse, will provide all its expertise to advise you best and find the product that meets your expectations.
What accessories should I plan for my fence?
To install your fence, you will need essential elements and accessories to ensure the structure’s stability, such as notched posts or clip-on posts . These products are developed and manufactured in France by the 100% French brand, Aciera.
Tested and approved by the Districlos authorized network, these galvanized steel fence posts help reinforce the security and inviolability of the fencing. Other accessories, from post caps to fence stakes, are also offered at a lower cost with excellent value for money. Everything will depend on your choice of fencing (flexible or rigid).

Which panels for my rigid mesh fencing?
By opting for rigid mesh fencing, you have the possibility to choose privacy slats. This addition provides extra protection. Tired of prying eyes? Effectively safeguard the privacy of your garden or outdoor spaces using different systems.
The different possible privacy options:
Your garden fences, whether in wood or another material, will adapt to your requirements and the thermal and climatic constraints of your region. In Occitanie, we primarily look for materials that are resistant to the sun and to temperatures that can be higher than average. We therefore recommend composite fencing or aluminum fencing.
There are multiple choices for rigid panels for your enjoyment (and ours!). The evolution of their design and manufacturing technologies allows us to offer you, in our Portet-sur-Garonne store, products with personalized patterns. Visit our showroom to choose your custom rigid fence model.
What heights should be prioritized for rigid fencing?
Delimiting, preserving privacy, or preventing intrusions—whatever the function, you will find the right dimensions.
It is clear that if the form fits the function, you will not need the same height depending on your specific needs. It is even beneficial and appreciated not to block light from reaching your land or, for road safety reasons, to avoid obstructing the view on a bend.
Height should be studied and carefully considered. it also affects the cost of your project, which can double. For a simple rigid fence panel with a length of 2.50 m and a height of:
- 0.63 m: €23.65
- 1.03 m: €33.52
- 1.53 m: €46.08
- 1.73 m: €52.55
- 1.93 m: €55.07

What are the obligations regarding the installation of my panels?
What is the limit for a boundary between neighbors? Are there dimensions not to be exceeded when in a town?
Choosing your rigid mesh fencing comes with a series of questions that you cannot avoid. Firstly, because like any construction or installation, there are a number of technical and, above all, legal constraints.
The regulations in force also adapt according to the location and the zone in which you are situated. Before installing your fence, you must submit a prior declaration of work if you fall into one of the following cases:
- If the local urban plan (PLU) requires it
- If your land is located in a specific area where it is mandatory (historical monument, listed site, or site awaiting listing, for example)
The requirements will also be different if you reside in a town or in an isolated house.
In towns with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants, the maximum height for a rigid mesh fence is set at 2.60 m.
In towns with more than 50,000 inhabitants, the maximum height for a rigid mesh fence is set at 3.20 m.
For your information, there are other rules related to the location of your fence (palisades, hedge, mesh…) or to the specificities of the land.
Remember to check with the planning department of your town hall if you have any doubts. There may be specific local rules to follow. The teams and installers of the Districlos network will also provide their valuable advice to support you properly.
