Riverside town, clay soils
Much of Bedford sits on clay, and gardens near the river can be damp for long periods. Concrete posts and gravel boards are the practical choice for long-lasting fences here.
The Victorian terraces around Castle Road and the town centre have long, narrow gardens with shared fences, while the northern suburbs have larger plots where closeboard and trellis fencing are popular.

Fencing in Bedford: your questions answered
Is it worth replacing timber posts with concrete in Bedford?
In clay and damp ground, concrete posts often last much longer than timber. They also make replacing panels easier in future.
Can I replace a fence that's covered in ivy?
Yes, but the ivy needs cutting back first – its weight and roots hold moisture against the timber. If you want climbers on the new fence, add trellis or wires so plants don't grow into the boards.
