What we see in WD6
A number of Borehamwood's post-war low-rise estates were built without a rear service route, so where there's no side passage wide enough for a barrow, fencing materials for a rear boundary have to be carried through the house rather than round the back. That's a scheduling and logistics factor worth confirming ahead of a job — it affects how long delivery and carry takes and what internal access needs protecting — rather than anything that changes the fencing spec itself. Elstree's smaller village-core streets generally have more conventional side access.

Services across WD6
Frequently asked — WD6
Why would materials need to go through the house in WD6?
Some of Borehamwood's post-war estates were built without a rear service route or side passage wide enough for a barrow, so through-house carry is the only option on those plots.
Does this apply to all of Borehamwood?
No — newer streets and properties with a proper side passage don't have this constraint; it's specific to certain older estate layouts.
Is Elstree's access different?
Generally yes — Elstree's smaller village-core streets tend to have more conventional side access.
