About Fencing in Coventry

Coventry's history stretches back to a Benedictine monastery founded by Earl Leofric and his wife Lady Godiva, whose legendary naked ride through the town to protest high taxes has become one of England's best known folk stories. The city later became a major centre of bicycle and then car manufacturing, home to Rover, Triumph, Daimler and Jaguar, before much of its historic centre, including the medieval cathedral, was destroyed in the Coventry Blitz of November 1940. A new cathedral, consecrated in 1962, stands beside the ruins of the old as a symbol of rebuilding. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the CV1 postcode area.

Types of Materials found in Coventry

Coventry sits on Triassic sandstone and mudstone bedrock typical of much of the West Midlands, generally giving reasonably firm ground for fence post footings across the city. Given the scale of rebuilding after the 1940 Blitz and the city's long industrial history around car manufacturing, some areas can have made up ground from twentieth century construction, while ground in the older, less disturbed parts of the city tends to reflect the natural sandstone and mudstone conditions more closely.
