Those sloping Crystal Palace gardens deserve fencing that works with the terrain, not against it. Closeboard panels handle everything from railway boundary lines to steep Victorian garden tiers.

Crystal Palace's mix of period properties and newer builds creates unique fencing challenges. Whether you're dealing with the uneven boundaries common near Westow Park or need privacy from neighbouring conversions, closeboard fencing adapts brilliantly. The overlapping feather-edge boards cope with ground level changes that leave other fence types looking awkward.
Installing closeboard involves driving posts deep enough to handle SE19's clay soil movement. Each vertical board overlaps its neighbour by 25mm, creating a solid barrier that flexes naturally. Gravel boards at the base protect against the damp conditions found in gardens backing onto the old railway cuttings. Capping rails shed water efficiently, essential given how exposed some Upper Norwood properties are to driving rain.
Twenty years fitting fences around Anerley means knowing which timber merchants stock properly seasoned boards. Local knowledge matters when you're navigating narrow Victorian side returns or working around mature trees protected by conservation area rules.

Most three-bed semis around Church Road need 20-25 panels, running £65-80 per panel fitted. Corner plots or those backing onto Penge recreation ground often push towards £2,200-2,800 total.
Absolutely - from the triangle down to Penge High Street. SE19's hilltop locations through to SE20's valley properties all covered, including those tricky slopes near the palace site.
Standard terraced gardens take 2-3 days once materials arrive. Larger Edwardian plots around Auckland Road might stretch to 4 days, weather permitting.
Closeboard's designed to move slightly - it's not a fault. However, structural issues within ten years get sorted free. That includes posts shifting or rails failing, though natural timber weathering isn't covered.
Perfect for it actually. Boards can be cut to follow ground contours, creating a neat stepped appearance. Much cleaner looking than panel fencing trying to bridge height differences with ugly gaps underneath.
