Maximum Height For Fencing Along A Footpath ?
11 Answers
Hi,
I'm replacing all the fencing in my garden that also runs along a footpath between mine and my neighbour's house (the path allows the terraced houses further along to access their gardens and wheel their bins out). I want wooden gravel boards and have always thought the maximum total height allowed was 6' so was quoted for 5' panels on top of 12" boards. Guy who's doing it has now told me gravel boards are 6" so I'd want 6' panels on top of those (5' panels wouldn't give as much privacy obviously, when people are walking past), making the total 6' 6". He says that's fine, he's not aware of a 6' maximum (and would've thought he'd know !).
Is he right ?
Thanks ...
