About Fencing in Falmouth
Falmouth grew around one of the deepest natural harbours in the world, and from 1688 to 1850 it served as a Royal Mail packet station, with fast mail ships filling the port for more than 150 years before steam power and prolonged peace with France ended the trade in 1851. Pendennis Castle, one of Henry VIII's Tudor forts built in 1542, still guards the harbour entrance alongside its twin, St Mawes Castle.

Types of Materials found in Falmouth
Falmouth sits on Devonian slate bedrock typical of the Cornish 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, particularly close to the harbour and Carrick Roads.

Is the ground in Falmouth suitable for fence posts?
Falmouth sits mainly on firm Devonian slate, though coastal properties benefit from timber treated for salt exposure given the sea air around the harbour.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Falmouth?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Falmouth. Cornwall Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Falmouth's weather affect fencing choices?
Falmouth's coastal, salt laden air can accelerate wear on untreated timber, so a good quality preservative treatment is recommended for fencing near the harbour.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Falmouth?
Cornwall 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.
