Fencing Installers in Orpington
Fencing in Orpington — London Borough of Bromley
Around Orpington the boundaries range from standard suburban garden fencing to long, semi-rural runs towards Chelsfield and Farnborough where post-and-rail and stock fencing make more sense than panels.
What matters for fencing in Orpington
Semi-rural boundaries
On open or field-edge boundaries, post-and-rail is cheaper over distance, survives wind far better and keeps the outlook. Panels on an exposed run are usually a false economy.
Exposed and open sites
Wind loading is the main enemy on open plots. Deeper post fixing, concrete posts and, where privacy allows, a slatted panel that lets air through all extend the life of the fence.
Repairs after storms
We take on repair work as well as full replacements — refixing rails, replacing individual boards and resetting posts where the rest of the run is still good.

Fencing in Orpington — your questions
What fencing suits an exposed, open boundary?
Post-and-rail or a slatted fence with gaps, on concrete or substantial pressure-treated posts set deep. Solid close-board on an exposed line acts like a sail, and it is the fences with no airflow that come down in a gale.
