If you’re staying out in the garden until late and need some garden lights to keep out of the dark, our solution would be garden lighting for fences. Practical and sweet, this type of garden light can stay out of the way and can hide in your shrubbery – or it can make a gorgeous statement piece.
Finding the right light that complements your garden's design, meets your practical needs, and aligns with your aesthetic preferences can be quite the task. Garden candles, for instance, can introduce a cosy ambience and intimacy. Or opt for solar lanterns that harness the sun's energy during the day and provide consistent illumination at night.

FAQs
What types of fence lighting are there?

Mains: These are connected to your home's electricity supply, providing consistent lighting.
How will you power your fence lighting?
You may be thinking… what is the best garden lighting for fences?
If you’re seeking permanent fence lighting or any outdoor garden lighting, installing an electric cable could be the best option. However, though we are aware that this is a large project, it can be very rewarding to have a mains-powered outdoor space.
Before you attempt anything, talk with an electrician to find out if this is a good (and viable) option for you and what the next steps would entail, including any added cost for the installation job. This option isn’t exactly budget-friendly, but once you have cables out, your garden will be a haven.
If you’re tentative about a permanent solution to outdoor lighting and don’t see it in your budget, that’s fine. There are some alternatives that are cheaper to install. Instead, consider something temporary like battery-powered lighting. You can’t go wrong! Most of our list is comprised of solar lights - as they're popular, easy to maintain and sustainable. Or – perhaps, candles. You can achieve something cosy and intimate.
For those concerned about the environment and their energy bills, the greenest and most cost-effective option would be to install solar-powered lighting, and they’re automatic too.
