Metal Fencing in Borehamwood: What Works on small to mid-size rear plots
Metal Fencing in Borehamwood isn't a bolt-on for us — it's a day-in, day-out install. We cover WD6 and the streets running toward A1 / A5135, and we know before we arrive that limited rear access on the older estates means materials usually have to come through the house. That's the first thing that shapes the spec, not the last. Recent work on Allum Lane and Theobald Street. We orient jobs off Meadow Park (Boreham Wood FC). Cardinal Avenue cul-de-sac, four plots. Matched 1.8m closeboard run installed in sequence over five days. Single materials drop, shared waste skip — saved each household ~12% versus solo quotes.

How we build metal fencing in Borehamwood
Galvanised steel, powder-coated bar-and-rail or estate railings. Standard build: 1.8m bow-top or estate railings, 40mm SHS posts, concrete-set at 750mm. 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.
Why metal fencing works here
- structurally the toughest boundary material we install
- hot-dip galvanising plus powder coat gives a 25-year plus service life
- doesn't warp, twist or lose fixings the way seasoned timber does
