FAQ
What are the legal height limits for fences?
In the UK, fences are typically limited to 2.0m in rear/side gardens and 1.0m adjacent to a highway without planning permission. Always check local rules.
When should I use gravel boards?
Gravel boards protect panels from ground moisture. Use 150mm timber or 300mm concrete boards where extra clearance is needed.
Which materials can I use?
Timber panels and posts are common for standard installations. Concrete posts and gravel boards offer maximum durability.
Do I need permission for trellis toppers?
Trellis counts toward total height. If the total exceeds local limits, planning permission may be required.
