From suburban gardens in Plympton and Peverell to exposed boundaries looking out over Plymouth Sound, we build timber fencing and gates that stand up to Britain's Ocean City weather. Wind-resistant close-board, neat panel runs and driveway gates across the PL postcodes.
Plymouth is a city of two halves when it comes to fencing. Sheltered inland suburbs like Mutley, Mannamead and Peverell have tidy garden boundaries where a clean panel run looks the part, while plots in Plymstock, Hooe and the streets sloping down toward the Sound take the full force of south-westerly gales coming off the water. We pick the fence type to match the exposure, not a one-size-fits-all spec, so your boundary still stands straight after the first winter.
We cover the whole PL area — Plympton, Crownhill, Derriford and across the Tamar to Saltash — for both residential gardens and commercial boundaries around the city's business parks and units.
Close-board (feather-edge) fencingis our go-to for Plymouth's exposed coastal boundaries. Built board by board on site over arris rails, it has no gaps for the wind to lever apart and follows the sloping ground common around Plymstock and Hooe far better than rigid panels.
Panel fencing in larch-lap or overlap is the quick, economical choice for sheltered gardens in Plympton, Mannamead and Peverell, dropped neatly between posts for a clean finish.
We also hang side gates and double driveway gates, braced and fitted on heavy ironmongery so they swing true, plus picket and contemporary slatted fencing where the setting calls for it.
The closer your boundary sits to Plymouth Sound, the harder it works. Salt-laden air corrodes cheap fixings within a couple of seasons, and exposed runs with too much “sail area” act like a wall the wind pushes against until the posts give way. We counter both: concrete posts that never rot at ground level, galvanised or stainless fixings throughout, and close-board construction that sheds gusts rather than fighting them. For the most exposed plots near the coast we set posts deeper and closer together for extra rigidity.
Fencing is priced per panel or per metre, supplied and installed including posts and fixings. These are 2026 guide figures for the Plymouth area; gates and difficult ground are quoted separately.
| Fence type | Guide price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Panel fencing | £80 – £100 per panel | Sheltered gardens in Plympton & Peverell |
| Close-board / feather-edge | £100 – £120 per panel | Wind-resistant, ideal near the Sound |
| Concrete post upgrade | Quoted per post | Longest life on exposed coastal sites |
| Gates & driveway gates | Quoted per project | Side, double & driveway gates |
Plenty of Plymouth fences blow down or rot out years early, almost always because of rushed posts or panels chosen for an exposure they were never built to handle. With over a decade and 200+ projects across Devon and Cornwall, we build for the local climate — the right fence for the site, posts set properly, and corrosion-resistant fixings on every coastal boundary.
Quotes are free, written and itemised, and we are happy to advise on the most durable option for your boundary and budget anywhere in the PL area.
In Plymouth, timber fencing runs from around £80 to £120 per panel supplied and installed in 2026, including posts and fixings. Standard panel fencing for sheltered gardens in Plympton or Mannamead sits at the lower end, while close-board fencing built on site for exposed boundaries near the Sound, or runs needing concrete posts, sits at the upper end. Driveway gates are quoted separately.
For exposed boundaries near Plymouth Sound and the coast around Plymstock, close-board (feather-edge) fencing on concrete posts is by far the most wind-resistant choice. It is built board by board with no gaps for gusts to lever apart, unlike pre-made larch-lap panels which can blow out of their slots in a winter gale.
For most Plymouth gardens, especially exposed plots in Plymstock, Derriford or near Saltash, we recommend concrete posts because they never rot at ground level where timber posts fail first. Timber posts suit more traditional or rural settings; where used we set pressure-treated posts in concrete with drainage to extend their life.
A properly built close-board fence on concrete posts with galvanised fixings will typically last 20 years or more in Plymouth, even on salt-laden coastal sites. Pre-made panel fencing lasts roughly 10 to 15 years. The biggest factors are post quality, drainage at the base and using corrosion-resistant fixings near the coast.
