Estate fencing in Aldershot
Estate fencing is the traditional metal bar fencing you see around paddocks, parkland and large gardens. In and around Aldershot we install it where people want a boundary that keeps a view open, controls livestock or dogs, and lasts for decades with little upkeep.
Where estate fencing fits around Aldershot
Aldershot itself is a compact Victorian garrison town, so most urban gardens suit panel fencing better. Estate fencing comes into its own on the edges: larger plots, smallholdings and paddocks towards the surrounding heath and farmland, and properties with long frontages where a solid fence would feel heavy.
Because estate fencing is open, it works well where a garden meets open ground and you want to keep the outlook. It also makes a good inner boundary, separating a lawn from a paddock or a vegetable garden from a play area.
The ground around the town is often sandy or gravelly. Estate fencing uses spiked or concreted uprights at regular spacings, and on loose ground we set the end and corner posts in concrete so the whole run stays taut.
Things to think about first
Decide what the fence needs to keep in or out. Horses, sheep and dogs each need different bar spacing or added mesh, and it is easier to specify that at the start than to add it later.
Long runs across fields may need vehicle access to bring materials close to the line. We will look at gateways and ground conditions on the visit so the work does not churn up grazing.
Estate Fencing in Aldershot: your questions
- What is estate fencing?
- Estate fencing is a traditional metal bar fence, usually with several horizontal bars fixed to uprights. It is used around paddocks, parkland and larger gardens where an open boundary is wanted.
- Can estate fencing keep dogs in?
- On its own the bar spacing may be too wide for smaller dogs. Adding mesh to the lower section is a common way to make it dog proof.
- Do you install estate fencing on sandy ground?
- Yes. On loose or sandy ground we set end and corner posts in concrete so the run stays tight and straight.
