New fencing in Sheffield
Fences fail at the posts. Shallow posts, posts rotting at ground level, and panels sitting in wet soil are behind almost every fence that comes down in a storm. We set posts deep in concrete, plumb and in line, and fit gravel boards so the fence never touches the ground.
Fences on slopes
On Sheffield's sloping gardens, panels are stepped down the hill so the top line looks tidy, with gravel boards cut to close the gaps. Close board can follow the ground line instead if you prefer a continuous look.
Fence types
- Close board: the strongest timber fence, best on exposed hillsides.
- Panels on concrete posts: no rotting posts and easy repairs.
- Slatted and horizontal: contemporary screening for terraces.
- Trellis: for climbers and extra privacy.
- Gates: hung on strong posts with good hinges and latches.
Heights: in England a fence up to two metres usually needs no planning permission, but next to a road or footpath the limit is normally one metre.

Questions about fencing
How long does a new fence take?
Usually a day or two for an average garden, including removal.
Can you fence a steep boundary?
Yes, by stepping panels or following the slope with close board.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes, and take it away.
Concrete or timber posts?
Concrete does not rot; timber suits close board. Both last when set properly.
