Garden Fencing Guide
Standard UK Panel Sizes
Standard UK fence panels: 1.83m wide (6 feet). Heights: 0.9m (3ft), 1.2m (4ft), 1.5m (5ft), 1.8m (6ft). A 1.8m high panel with 2.4m posts gives 600mm in the ground and 1.8m above — the minimum for most garden privacy fences.
Planning Permission
UK rules: front garden fences over 1m (next to a road) or side/rear fences over 2m height require planning permission. Always check with your local authority if fencing near a road or boundary. You need your neighbour's agreement to remove shared boundary fencing.
Installation Tips
Mark post positions accurately before digging — even one post out of line throws the whole run. Use a string line as a guide. Postcrete sets in minutes, but the post can still be adjusted during the first minute — have a spirit level ready. Let set for 24 hours before hanging panels.
