How we build metal fencing in St Albans
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 St Albans jobs we adjust for extensive conservation areas mean fence heights and materials need to match the streetscape.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas in Marshalswick, and Tudor / Georgian properties near the cathedral. Typical gardens: mature gardens, often with established hedging that needs lifting before fencing goes in. Postcodes we regularly service: AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4.
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
Common St Albans briefs
- → period properties needing traditional estate railings or wrought-iron style detailing
- → commercial yards and forecourts where fork-lift damage is a real risk
