Corner plot fencing across Hackney — Hackney
Corner-plot fencing in Hackney 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 victorian terraces across stoke newington and de beauvoir with small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes, the failure mode we see most often is the one we design out first. Recent work on Amhurst Road and Mare Street. We orient jobs off London Fields. London Fields rear boundary, shallow plot. 1.8m hit-and-miss panels with slotted concrete posts. Kept the garden bright while replacing a rotten solid boundary.

How we build corner-plot fencing in Hackney
front boundary 900mm painted picket or bar-and-rail on the visibility splay, side boundary 1.8m closeboard beyond the sight-line. On Hackney jobs we adjust for many boundaries are shared with three or four neighbours on victorian back-to-backs — clear ownership marks matter.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces across Stoke Newington and De Beauvoir, plus post-war estates around Homerton and London Fields. Typical gardens: small rear gardens with mature planting; several plots border the Regent's Canal or Hackney Marshes. Postcodes we regularly service: E5, E8, E9, N1, N16.

- 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
