Local corner-plot fencing specialist covering Hatfield & welwyn garden city
Capital Fencing installs corner-plot fencing across Hatfield and out toward welwyn garden city and st albans. What separates a corner-plot fencing job from a standard boundary is the detail: front-and-side boundary run around a corner plot keeping highway sight-line to 900mm at the junction. That's the work, not the marketing. Recent work on St Albans Road West and Wellfield Road. We orient jobs off Hatfield House park wall. Briars Lane four-plot run. Matched 1.8m closeboard, simultaneous quote across four neighbours. Single mobilisation, shared waste skip.

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 Hatfield
- → brick pier and metal railing frontage kept lower on the splay so parked cars can pull out safely
- → matched picket to the front, closeboard to the side, single point of change at the corner post
How we build corner-plot fencing in Hatfield
front boundary 900mm painted picket or bar-and-rail on the visibility splay, side boundary 1.8m closeboard beyond the sight-line. On Hatfield jobs we adjust for uniform new-build estates mean visual consistency across runs is important to keep frontages looking right.
Property mix locally: post-war new-town estates, university accommodation, and Old Hatfield's period cottages. Typical gardens: compact rectangular plots, mostly level, often shared with neighbour-owned fences. Postcodes we regularly service: AL9, AL10.
Common failure modes on corner-plot fencing
- •carrying a full 1.8m closeboard all the way to the pavement corner — councils issue removal notices for exactly this
- •under-sizing the corner post so the whole two-sided run leans within a year
