Fencing in Croydon — London Borough of Croydon
Croydon boundaries often run uphill, which is what makes fencing here more involved than it looks. A run of panels on sloping ground either steps or leaves gaps at the bottom, and the answer depends on the fence type and how much you care about the gap.
What matters for fencing in Croydon
Stepped panels or racked close-board
Panels step down the slope in fixed increments, leaving triangular gaps that gravel boards can partly close. Close-board follows the ground continuously and gives a cleaner result on a slope, at more cost.
Exposed and windy boundaries
Higher ground in the south of the borough catches more wind. On exposed runs we use concrete posts, deeper post fixing and consider slatted panels that let air through instead of acting as a sail.
Retaining and fencing together
Where a boundary also holds back a level change, a low retaining wall with the fence above it is far more durable than trying to make gravel boards do a retaining job.

Fencing in Croydon — your questions
What fencing is best for a sloping Croydon garden?
Close-board built on site, because the arris rails and boards can follow the fall of the ground continuously with no stepped gaps. If budget favours panels, concrete gravel boards can be cut and stepped to close most of the gap.
