Panel Fencing for post-war new-town estates in Hatfield
If you're weighing panel fencing for a property in Hatfield, the housing stock — post-war new-town estates, university accommodation, and Old Hatfield's period cottages — sets most of the answer. On compact rectangular plots, mostly level, often shared with neighbour-owned fences, 6ft lap or overlap panels between pressure-treated or concrete posts generally makes sense for residential rear boundaries where fastest install and lowest cost matter most. Where it doesn't, we say so. Recent work on Briars Lane and Wellfield Road. We orient jobs off Hatfield House park wall. Wellfield Road landlord rear boundary. Closeboard with concrete posts, invoiced via managing agent. Turned around between tenancies.
