Fencing in Portsmouth
Fencing on the Portsmouth coast has to cope with salt-laden wind that finds every weak fixing. Helyers of Hampshire fit fencing across Portsmouth and Southsea built for those conditions – concrete posts, gravel boards, and panel choices that do not act like a sail in the first winter gale.
Coastal Fencing Done Properly
Exposure is the deciding factor here. On open plots in Southsea, Eastney and Farlington we specify concrete posts set deeper, gravel boards to keep timber off wet ground, and where wind is severe we recommend slatted or hit-and-miss panels that let gusts pass through instead of pushing the fence over.

Common Questions
What fencing lasts longest near the sea?
Composite or treated closeboard on concrete posts with gravel boards. The posts and the base are where coastal fences fail first, so that is where we spend the money.
Will a solid fence blow down in a gale?
A solid panel on shallow timber posts can. On very exposed Portsmouth plots we either set concrete posts deeper or fit hit-and-miss panels so wind passes through.
Do you fit fencing in small Southsea yards?
Yes – compact courtyards and rear yards are routine work for us.
Is the quote free?
Yes – a free site visit and a fixed written quote, no obligation.
