About Fencing in Barnet
Barnet sits at the northern edge of London, its High Street once an important stop for cattle drovers bringing livestock towards the capital, a history still marked in the town's old fair traditions. The area today is largely residential, spreading out from the historic High Barnet centre through a mix of interwar suburbs and more recent development. Being one of the higher points in outer north London gives many streets good views across the surrounding countryside towards Hertfordshire. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the EN5 postcode area. Local tradespeople listed here can advise on the right fencing for your property and offer a free quote.

Types of Materials found in Barnet
Barnet sits at the boundary between London Clay to the south and higher, gravel capped ground extending towards Hertfordshire, with the town itself benefiting from its position on relatively high ground compared with much of the rest of outer north London. This higher, sometimes gravelly ground generally drains better than the clay dominant areas further into the city, though pockets of heavier clay are also found across parts of the borough.
