Wingham-specific notes

Conservation Area frontages. Picket at 900mm inside the 1m permitted-development limit for vehicular-frontage boundaries. Timber choice matters on the High Street stretch - stained softwood, not weathered pressure-treated green. See Wingham CA fence heights.

Working life. 15-20 years on a proper install with painted or stained finish. Unfinished pressure-treated picket: 12-15 years. Repaint every 5-7 years extends life significantly.
