Fencing in Annan
If your home is in Annan, near the Solway coast, and the garden needs a new boundary, this page sets out what to decide before we price the work. Fencing in Annan can be timber, concrete post-and-panel or UPVC, set out for privacy, security or a smaller boundary job.
Homes in Annan
Annan has many red sandstone buildings, and much of the housing around the town dates from the twentieth century. A sandstone frontage and a later house on a residential street can call for different heights, materials and finishes, so it helps to tell us which kind of home you have. Annan is about 5 miles south-west of our base. Ground conditions are worth raising too, because fence posts last longer in wet ground when they sit in concrete or on concrete spurs. Our photo shows a fence we built ourselves: closeboard timber on concrete posts, with gravel boards along the foot.
What matters for fencing in Annan
The clearer the picture you give us, the easier it is to discuss the scope. It helps to know what the fence is for, roughly how long the boundary is, what stands there now and whether any part of it fronts a road. From there we can suggest a material and talk through how the fence fits with the rest of the garden, including any paving or patio work you have in mind.
- The main job of the fence: privacy, security or a smaller boundary requirement.
- Whether it runs alongside a road, as a fence there usually has to stay lower to avoid needing planning permission.
- Any wet ground along the line, because posts in concrete or on concrete spurs last longer there.
- Your preferred finish: timber, concrete post-and-panel or UPVC.
Questions about fencing in Annan
What is the fence in your photo made of?
It is our own finished work: a new closeboard timber boundary fence with concrete posts and gravel boards. That is one timber option; we also offer concrete post-and-panel and UPVC fencing.
Do you do other garden work as well as fencing?
Yes. We also lay patios and paving and carry out wider landscaping, including new lawns and artificial grass. If you want a fence and other changes together, the boundary can be coordinated with that work.
