Fencing timber for London gardens
London gardens are small, overlooked and often reached only through the house. Planning the order around access matters as much as the timber itself.

Small gardens, careful planning
In a typical terrace there's no side passage, so everything goes through the house or over a back wall. Shorter lengths are far easier to manage: 2.4m posts and 1.8m boards for the fence, and 3.6m rails only if there's a clear route.
Fences between neighbouring gardens are often shared. A neat finish on both sides, or agreeing whose side the rails face, saves awkward conversations. Front boundaries are usually kept low, using 1.2m boards.

Questions
Will long rails fit through my house?
Measure your hallway and any turns first. If 3.6m won't go round, choose shorter rails and add posts so each length spans one bay.
Who owns a fence between two gardens?
Your property deeds may say. If not, talk to your neighbour before replacing a shared fence.
