Questions about fencing in Darlington
What fence should I use where my garden meets farmland?
Post-and-rail with stock mesh keeps animals out and the view open. For privacy nearer the house, closeboard is a good choice.
Can I add trellis to an existing fence?
Yes, if the posts are sound. Keep the total height within 2 metres to avoid needing planning permission.
