TYPES OF FENCES

The majority of fence types are included in the British Standard 1722 of which a copy can usually be found at any local library.
However, the more common types of fence to be found in domestic sites are:

Interwoven

BS 1722 part 11

Cleft chestnut

BS 1722 part 4

Chain link

BS 1722 part 1

Close boarded
and wooden palisade

BS 1722 part 5

Because British Standard 1722:Fences is the quality standard, you should ask that your fence is to be quoted on this specification.
If a fence is not covered by BS1722, call upon the installer to quote to the spirit of the standard especially if timber is used which must be pressure impregnated against decay and for long life. Fences over 1.2m [four foot] in height should have posts set in concrete.

If the fence you need is not to BS1722, send us a description and we will give you a 'tight' specification that will maximise its life and general presentation.
