Common Concerns About Fencing & Gates

I'm worried about my new fence blowing over in a winter storm.

We match you with contractors who build storm-resistant fencing for exposed Scottish sites. They can discuss options like "hit and miss" panels that allow wind to pass through, or the use of deeply set concrete posts and gravel boards for maximum stability.

How do I know where my property boundary actually is?

While Paveway does not provide legal or surveying services, the tradespeople we introduce are experienced in working on boundary lines. They can discuss how to check your title deeds and recommend a neighbourly approach before the work begins.

Will a tall fence block too much light from my or my neighbour's garden?

The specialists we introduce are familiar with height regulations in Scotland. They can recommend solutions like integrated trellis toppers that provide privacy without completely blocking natural light.

Fencing and gates planning and consultation in Fife

Frequently Asked Questions

How high can I build a fence in Fife without planning permission?
In Scotland, you can generally build a fence up to 2 metres high in your back garden without planning permission. However, if the fence is in a front garden and adjacent to a road or public path, the height is typically limited to 1 metre. The specialist we match you with will be able to advise you on Fife Council's specific regulations.
How much does a new garden fence cost in Fife in 2026?
Fencing costs are typically calculated per metre or per panel bay. For a standard 1.8m high closeboard fence with timber posts, you might expect to pay between £60 and £120 per metre installed. Premium styles like composite or modern slatted panels will be higher. The specialist will provide a direct, detailed quote after an on-site assessment.
How long does it typically take to install a garden fence?
A typical residential fencing project—around 10 to 15 metres—is usually completed within 1 to 2 days. The timeline can vary depending on the ground conditions and whether old fencing needs to be removed first. Your specialist will manage their own schedule directly with you.
Can you introduce me to a specialist who handles both a new fence and a gate?
Yes, most fencing contractors in our network are also experts in gate installation. You can discuss the full scope of your boundary project directly with the specialist when they contact you, and they will arrange their own timeline for the work.
What is the best way to prevent fence posts from rotting?
The specialists we introduce often recommend using concrete posts or pressure-treated timber posts paired with concrete gravel boards. Gravel boards keep the wooden panels off the damp ground, significantly extending the life of your fence in the Scottish climate.
Who is responsible for the fence between me and my neighbour?
Responsibility is usually determined by the title deeds of your property. It is a good idea to discuss your plans with your neighbour before work begins, as they may be willing to share the cost if the fence benefits both properties. The specialist we match you with will deal with you directly as the primary contact.
Can I paint or treat my side of a neighbour's fence?
Legally, you must seek permission from the owner of the fence before painting, staining, or even leaning heavy items against it. If the specialist we introduce is installing a new shared boundary, they can discuss options that look good from both sides.
