Wind, rain and hilly streets
Plymouth is hilly, and gardens on exposed slopes around Mount Gould, Efford and Mannamead take the full force of the weather. Concrete posts, heavier panels and slatted designs that let some wind through are the norm for these sites.
In older parts of the city, limestone is common in walls and sometimes in the ground itself, which can make post holes hard work. Experienced local contractors will bring the right tools for the job.

Pricing a fence in Plymouth: the local factors
Two quotes for the same fence in Plymouth can differ more than you'd expect. It usually comes down to things like these:
- Exposure: coastal and hilltop gardens need stronger materials.
- Rocky ground: may need breakers to dig post holes.
- Access: steep steps and narrow lanes slow down deliveries.

Plymouth fencing FAQs
What fence survives Plymouth's weather best?
Concrete posts, heavy-duty panels or closeboard, and a design that lets some wind pass through tend to perform best. Galvanised fixings are worth the small extra cost.
How long does a timber fence last in Plymouth?
With concrete posts and good panels, 15–20 years is realistic even in Plymouth's weather. On timber posts in exposed spots, expect the posts to need replacing sooner.
Do you need planning permission for a fence in England?
Most fences in England 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.
