Fencing timber for Bristol gardens

Colourful terraces climbing hills in Totterdown and Clifton, Victorian streets in Bishopston and Redland, and newer homes on the fringes. Plenty of Bristol gardens slope.

Small, steep and well used

Bristol's hillside streets mean many back gardens fall away in steps. Fences follow the ground in level bays, and sleepers turn sloping corners into raised beds and seating.

Narrow terraces rarely have side access, so shorter lengths are easier to carry through: 2.4m posts, 1.8m boards and 2.4m sleepers.

What size sleepers for a small raised bed?

2.4m sleepers for the long sides and 1.2m for the ends make a neat 2.4m × 1.2m bed.
