How we build metal fencing in Potters Bar
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 Potters Bar jobs we adjust for many gardens border the green belt — the brief usually needs sturdy stock-proof boundary work.
