Why this spec, for houses on a corner with two road-facing boundaries — visibility, privacy and highway sight-lines all in play
- highway visibility standards handled properly — no council-notice rebuild six months in
- clean junction between two boundary types instead of one tired fence run stopping at a wall
- corner post carries loads from two directions — we upsize as standard, not as an add-on
Typical corner-plot fencing briefs in Borehamwood

How we build corner-plot fencing in Borehamwood
front boundary 900mm painted picket or bar-and-rail on the visibility splay, side boundary 1.8m closeboard beyond the sight-line. On Borehamwood jobs we adjust for limited rear access on the older estates means materials usually have to come through the house.
Property mix locally: mix of post-war terraces, 1960s low-rise estates and new-build apartments near the studios. Typical gardens: small to mid-size rear plots, often south-facing on the Elstree side. Postcodes we regularly service: WD6.
Common failure modes on corner-plot fencing
