Fencing in West Wickham: what we see locally
West Wickham is largely interwar and post-war suburban housing with generous, often open rear gardens. Openness is exactly what makes fencing here fail early: an exposed 1.8m panel run takes a lot of wind, and it is usually the posts and the fixings that give way first, not the boards.
For exposed boundaries we specify closer post spacing, concrete posts or spurs, and close board rather than lightweight overlap panels. Where a solid fence would catch too much wind, a slatted or hit-and-miss design lets air through while still giving privacy.
The area sits close to open green space on its southern edge, so wildlife-friendly details are worth asking about — a small gravel-board gap or a hedgehog gap keeps a boundary permeable without weakening it.
