About Fencing in Exmouth
Exmouth became Devon's very first seaside resort in the 1700s, its population of only four or five hundred fishermen and pilots at the start of the century transformed as visitors arrived seeking the supposed medicinal benefits of sea bathing, particularly once the French Revolution restricted continental travel for wealthy tourists. The elegant seafront promenade known as The Parade was built in 1790 and quickly became the centre of social life in the town, drawing notable visitors including Lady Byron and her daughter Ada Lovelace.

Types of Materials found in Exmouth
Exmouth sits on Permian sandstone bedrock typical of this stretch of the Devon coast, generally giving firm ground for fence post footings on higher parts of the town. Coastal properties should account for salt laden air, which can shorten the lifespan of untreated timber near the seafront and the Exe estuary.

Is the ground in Exmouth suitable for fence posts?
Exmouth sits mainly on firm Permian sandstone, though coastal properties benefit from timber treated for salt exposure given the sea air near the estuary.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Exmouth?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Exmouth. East Devon District Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Exmouth's weather affect fencing choices?
Exmouth's coastal, salt laden air can accelerate wear on untreated timber, so a good quality preservative treatment is recommended for fencing near the seafront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Exmouth?
Devon County Council operates household waste recycling centres in the area that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
