Terraces, back lanes and Welsh weather

The back lanes behind Cardiff's terraces make getting materials in easy, and a new rear fence is often paired with a lockable lane gate. In Cathays, where many homes are student lets, landlords usually want tough, low-maintenance fencing.

Cardiff gets plenty of rain blowing in from the Atlantic, so concrete posts and gravel boards are the reliable choice. Homes near Cardiff Bay and on higher ground to the north can be more exposed to wind.

Pricing a fence in Cardiff: the local factors

Two quotes for the same fence in Cardiff can differ more than you'd expect. It usually comes down to things like these:

  • Back lanes behind most terraces make deliveries straightforward.
  • Frequent rain makes concrete posts and gravel boards worth the extra cost.
  • Residents' parking zones in Roath, Canton and Cathays can make parking a van tricky.

Cardiff fencing FAQs

Can I put a gate onto the lane behind my Cardiff terrace?

Many homes already have one. If you are adding or replacing a lane gate, check your deeds and whether the lane is adopted. A lockable gate is a good security measure.

Do planning rules for fences differ in Wales?

They are similar to England's. Fences and gates up to 2 metres are generally permitted, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Listed buildings and some conservation areas have extra rules.

Do you need planning permission for a fence in Wales?

Most fences in Wales are permitted development up to 2 metres – or 1 metre where they border a road used by vehicles. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with the council before you build. More on fence height and boundaries.
