Fencing · Owlsmoor, Hampshire
Owlsmoor fencing, done thoroughly.
A small, family-run team building fencing across Owlsmoor and the surrounding Hampshire postcodes. Same crew on site every day, work that's meant to age well.
Workshop in GU15 - close to Owlsmoor
Same team on site every day
10+ years across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire
Typical book-in is two to four weeks; build two to five days on site.
What we mean by fencing
The bit beneath the surface.
Most failed fences didn't fail on the boards. They failed at the post - concreted shallow, in the wrong mix, or in a softwood post that was never going to last ten winters. Get the post right and the rest follows.
Posts set properly, every time
Oak or pressure-treated to grade, set 600mm deep in haunched post-mix concrete with a 50mm gravel base. The bit nobody sees; the bit that decides everything.
Boards built to outlive the run
Feather edge over closeboard every time - stronger, longer-lived, and repairable board-by-board rather than panel-by-panel.
Lines straight, gates that close
Lines pulled with a string and a level, not eyeballed. Gates hung with proper ironmongery so they still close cleanly in the third winter.
Why this works in Owlsmoor
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
What we build for Owlsmoor gardens isn't generic fencing - the materials, the falls and the finish are tuned to the houses we see across the area.
Owlsmoor is one of the closer postcodes to our workshop - first visits usually within the week, and small follow-ups easy to fit in.

Common questions
What Owlsmoor clients usually ask about fencing.
How long does a typical fence run take?+
A 20–30m run takes two to three days from clearing the line to hanging the gate. Larger runs with retaining or stepped levels stretch to a week.
Can you keep our existing posts and just replace the boards?+
Sometimes - if the posts are sound, set deep enough and still plumb. We check honestly on the first visit. Replacing boards on rotten posts is a false economy and we'll say so.
What's the right post for a Yateley garden?+
Pressure-treated softwood is fine on most runs and the cost-effective default. Oak makes sense where the run is long, the boundary is exposed or the client wants thirty years rather than fifteen. We'll talk through both.
Will you deal with our neighbour about the boundary?+
Yes - happily. Most boundary work goes more smoothly when neighbours are spoken to in advance, and we're used to handling the conversation calmly. We'd usually visit them with you before quoting.
