Fencing in York
On wet York clay, fence posts and the bottom of panels are where rot starts. We set posts deep in concrete, plumb and in line, and fit gravel boards so the fence never sits in soil. A gravel margin along the fence line keeps mowers and strimmers away from the timber too.
- Close board fencing.
- Panels on timber or concrete posts.
- Slatted and contemporary screens.
- Picket and low front fencing.
- Gates.
Heights: fences up to two metres usually need no planning permission; next to a road it is normally one metre. York has many conservation areas with extra rules, so check with City of York Council if yours may be affected.
