About Fencing in Folkestone
Folkestone in Kent reached its peak as a seaside resort in the Edwardian period, boosted by the railway and by cross Channel ferry services that made it one of the leading destinations of southern England. Much of its clifftop promenade, known as the Leas, was landscaped in the mid 19th century by Decimus Burton, the architect behind parts of Kew Gardens and London Zoo, and its Victorian cliff lift, built in 1885, still carries visitors between the town and the seafront below. In more recent history, Folkestone became the English terminal for the Channel Tunnel, agreed under Margaret Thatcher, completed in 1993 and connecting the town directly to Sangatte in northern France.

Is the ground in Folkestone suitable for fence posts?
Folkestone sits on chalk cliffs, generally firm, though ground near the seafront can be sandier and benefit from deeper footings.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Folkestone?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Folkestone. Folkestone and Hythe District Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal properties.
Does Folkestone's coastal weather affect fencing choices?
Salt laden coastal air can accelerate corrosion of metal fittings, so galvanised or stainless steel fixings and well treated timber are recommended near the seafront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Folkestone?
Kent 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.
