Fencing Contractors Covering Yateley

Yateley is unusual among Hampshire towns in the extent to which green space, particularly heathland, is woven into and around its residential areas. Yateley Common, Bramshot Farm Country Park, and the various local nature reserves mean that a significant number of properties back directly onto open heathland or have boundaries running alongside green corridors. This setting is one of Yateley’s great attractions as a place to live, but it does have implications for fencing.

Properties adjacent to heathland tend to be more exposed to wind, particularly from the south-west, than those in more enclosed suburban settings. We regularly see fence failures in these locations caused by wind loading on panel fencing that was never quite up to the job. Where we’re replacing fencing in exposed positions in Yateley, we’ll typically recommend close-board construction, specify longer posts set deeper into the ground, and use arris rails rather than standard timber rails where the fence run is long.

Heathland borders often also mean sandy or peaty ground conditions close to the boundary, which, as with similar conditions in Sandhurst, require careful attention to post-installation practice. We assess ground conditions during every site visit and adjust our specification accordingly, ensuring the fence we install is designed to perform well in its specific location rather than built to a generic standard.
