Garden fencing defines rear boundaries, improves privacy and secures side access. across Solihull and the West Midlands, most domestic projects involve closeboard or feather edge runs with pressure-treated timber, concrete posts and gravel boards where ground moisture is a concern.
Closeboard and feather edge
Solid timber options for privacy between neighbouring plots, including stepped runs on slight gradients.
- Pressure-treated timber
- Concrete-set posts
- Gravel boards where specified
Panel and composite systems
Panel-based layouts suit straightforward garden runs, while composite is chosen where lower routine maintenance is preferred.
- Standard bay layouts
- Consistent top line
- Material options explained in quote
Choosing materials for Solihull properties
Clay-heavy soils in parts of Solihull and the wider West Midlands can hold moisture around post bases. For that reason, quotes often specify pressure-treated timber, concrete posts and gravel boards to reduce direct soil contact and extend service life.
For planning context, rear boundary fences are commonly up to 2 metres while front boundaries are typically around 1 metre, subject to site-specific rules and any local constraints.
Access and installation planning
Terraced streets in areas such as Olton, Shirley and Acocks Green can mean narrow side access. We assess delivery route, panel handling and waste removal before scheduling so the scope is practical from day one.
