The best way to build a fence depends on what style it is, as different types have different components. However, fencing made up of posts and panels is pretty common. To put this up, you’ll need to start by measuring out and digging holes for your fence posts. Then you’ll need to fit the panels between them and use concrete to secure the posts in the ground.

Are you interested in having fencing installed in Kirkwall? With the Quotatis service it's possible to compare and contrast as many as 4 fencing contractors in order to get the very best deal available for the job you need.
Fencing is very important for all houses whether it be the front or back garden. From restoration work to a complete installation of new fencing, employing a trustworthy contractor is highly recommended to get the best price available.
Fences work as a boundary to our homes and with an installation you'll increase security to your property preventing easy access to your back garden. Back garden fences are usually around six feet high, which right away makes it harder for intruders to gain access.
Decorative fences or wooden picket fencing tend to be most appropriate for the front garden, where security isn't as important. Instead, you're more likely to choose a front garden fence specifically for design and also to add something different.
For whatever style of fencing you're looking to have installed, be sure you use our totally free and no obligation service to get the best deal available in Kirkwall.

FAQs
As a home or property owner, you’re generally allowed to build next to your neighbour’s fence as long as it’s on your own side of the property. With that in mind, there are certain laws that regulate how close a fence can be built to buildings on the same lot or neighbouring lots. In addition, there are also local bylaws that provide limitations on the placements as well as height of fences so as to address safety hazards. In this post, we’re going to give you a good insight into how close you can build to your neighbour. Let’s take a look!
In general, if the fence is in your boundary then you’re allowed to build a 2-metre high brick or wooden fence or wall. However, this may differ depending on your location in the UK. As a result, you may want to reach out to your municipality’s building department in order to determine what these rules and limitations are in your area. In the events whereby there are no such restrictions but you’re still concerned, you can try informing your neighbour what your concerns are. However, if they’re not receptive there are some steps you can take to ensure your plans go as smoothly as possible. These steps include the following:
- Ensure to leave sufficient space for both the posts and footings
- Stagger your fence posts in order to make sure you’re not digging your neighbour’s
- Consider using concrete posts as they’re much stronger and will last a lot longer
- Use kickers or plinths for raised gardens and flower beds
- Make use of concrete plinths as they won’t rot over time like a wooden fence.
If there’s a fence dividing yours and your neighbour’s properties that needs maintaining or replacing, you’ll want to know who owns it. Start by checking your deeds to see if there’s an existing boundary agreement. If there isn’t, have a chat with them to see if you can come to an arrangement yourselves.
Not if they are under 1 metre high if next to a road or 2 metres high elsewhere. It’s always recommended to check with your neighbours and the local authority if you are unsure. Other restrictions may apply, for example if a fence might impact driver visibility on nearby roads.
