Fencing in Preston.

Preston is the village on the A257 north of Wingham towards the Wantsum. Farmland edges, the drop down towards the marshes, and the wind exposure that comes with being on the ridge above the flats.

What the work looks like: Longer orchard-boundary runs on the north side of the village. Wind-exposed rear boundaries where post spacing tightens to 1500mm and gravel boards are non-negotiable. Occasional chalk substrate on the ridge.

Typical spec: Exposed closeboard at 1800mm with 125mm posts on 1500mm centres, concrete gravel boards, single galvanised straining wire on the exposed top rail - £85-100/m installed.
