Corner Plot Fencing in Cheshunt (EN7)
Corner-plot fencing in Cheshunt is one of our regular briefs — houses on a corner with two road-facing boundaries — visibility, privacy and highway sight-lines all in play. On mid-century semis and bungalows with long flat gardens — many back onto the Lee Valley with high-water-table conditions, the failure mode we see most often is the one we design out first. Recent work on Crossbrook Street and Windmill Lane. We orient jobs off Lee Valley Regional Park. Turners Hill driveway gates. Hardwood double gates manual-bolted to existing piers. Sized to fit awkward 3.6m opening with 50mm fall.
