[Call Liam 07805 010927](tel:+447805010927) [Ask for a quote](https://brick2brick.co.uk/contact/?side=fencing#quote) ## What fencing does Fence2Fence UK put up? Fence2Fence UK’s fences are close-board: overlapping [feather-edge boards](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/glossary/#feather-edge-board) with no gaps between them, set between slotted concrete posts, with concrete [gravel boards](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/glossary/#gravel-board) along the bottom. For any other kind of fence, ask Liam. > Strong, secure & built to last! New close-board fencing with concrete posts & bases Liam · September 2026 ## How a close-board run is laid out **A close-board run, from above** Posts set in concrete at each bay, boards and gravel boards between them. Drawing, not to scale. ## Why concrete posts and gravel boards? Concrete posts do not rot where they meet the ground, which is the part of a timber post most at risk, and they are set in concrete so they stay upright. Gravel boards keep the fence boards off the soil so they can dry out, and a damaged bottom board can be replaced without touching the rest of the fence. The [close-board fencing guide](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/close-board-fencing/) compares close-board with panels and concrete with timber posts, and explains how a new fence goes in. ## Where can you see Fence2Fence UK’s fencing? In September 2026 Fence2Fence UK put up a new close-board fence with concrete posts and gravel boards, the last stage of a Worcestershire job. The [extension, patio and fence](https://brick2brick.co.uk/projects/worcestershire-extension-patio-and-fence/) page has the photos and the full story. ## Can the fence be part of a bigger job? Yes. On a Worcestershire job finished in September 2026, Fence2Fence UK put up the new fence after Brick2Brick UK had built the extension and the multi-level patio for the same regular customer. See [the extension, patio and fence](https://brick2brick.co.uk/projects/worcestershire-extension-patio-and-fence/). > Great work by our sister company FENCE2FENCE UK on this brand new fence installation in Worcestershire Liam · September 2026 ## Do fences come into insurance work? Yes. In January 2024, before Fence2Fence UK was set up, the team reinstated a fence on the Old Birmingham Road after a car crashed into it, and rebuilt the wall beside it. See [insurance work](https://brick2brick.co.uk/insurance-work/). ## Do you need planning permission for a fence? Usually not. A fence can be up to 2 metres high from ground level without planning permission, or up to 1 metre next to a highway used by vehicles or its footpath. Listed buildings, Article 4 directions and planning conditions change that. Wooden fences are not party walls, so the Party Wall Act does not apply. See the [height rules guide](https://brick2brick.co.uk/guides/garden-wall-and-fence-height-rules/). ## Photos from recent jobs A run of new close-board fence panels between concrete posts above a block wall, Worcestershire A new close-board fence with concrete posts on top of a block retaining wall, Worcestershire ## What customers say > Liam and his team came and built our extension on our property and removed bushes from garden and installed new fence.
