From city terraces to New Forest edges
In Portswood, Polygon and Shirley, fences between terraced houses are generally short runs where access is through the house or a shared alley. Concrete posts with slotted panels are popular because they make future repairs straightforward.
Out towards Totton and the edge of the New Forest, plots are larger, and boundaries may back onto woodland or open land. Deer and ponies are not unusual near the Forest, so some homeowners choose taller, sturdier fences and self-closing gates.

What affects fencing prices in Southampton
Fencing contractors in Southampton normally price a job after a visit or a look at photos. These are the local factors that tend to move the price:
- Access: terraced homes without side access take longer to work on.
- Boundary type: fences against woodland may need extra height or mesh.
- Removal: older estates often have lightweight fences that are quick to remove, keeping costs down.

Fence height and planning rules in England
In England, a garden fence or gate up to 2 metres high usually doesn't need planning permission, falling to 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles. Listed buildings, some conservation areas and estates with restricted rights are the main exceptions. More on fence height and boundaries.

Fencing in Southampton: your questions answered
My developer fence has started to fail after 15 years – is that normal?
Unfortunately, yes. Many developers install lightweight panels on timber posts that start to fail after 10–20 years. Replacing them with concrete posts and heavier panels usually gives a much longer life.
What fence suits a garden on the edge of the New Forest?
Homes near the Forest often choose sturdy closeboard or post-and-rail with mesh, plus self-closing gates, to keep ponies and deer out. Keep any new fence within your own boundary.
