Dulwich's period properties deserve boundary solutions that match their character. Closeboard fencing brings privacy and security to gardens from Village heights down to Lordship Lane's bustling streets.
Response within 24 hours
Victorian terraces throughout SE21 often share narrow side returns where solid closeboard panels create essential privacy. The undulating terrain between West Dulwich and Herne Hill demands fencing that adapts to slopes whilst maintaining clean lines. Property boundaries here tell stories - from original brick walls to weathered panels that have seen decades of South London seasons.
Each closeboard panel starts with pressure-treated feather edge boards overlapping vertically onto robust rails. Gravel boards protect against Dulwich's clay soil moisture, extending fence life significantly. Post positions accommodate mature tree roots common in SE22's leafier streets. Height variations suit different needs - 1.8m screens neighbouring windows whilst 1.2m sections preserve light for smaller gardens near East Dulwich station.
Twenty years installing fencing across Dulwich means knowing which corner plots catch prevailing winds, where drainage affects post stability. Local knowledge prevents future problems that template solutions miss.
