About Fencing in Hartlepool
Hartlepool is famous for the legend of the monkey hanger, a story dating to the Napoleonic Wars in which locals, having never seen a Frenchman, are said to have mistaken a shipwrecked monkey dressed in a military style uniform for a French spy and hanged it in the town square. Whether or not the tale is true, it stuck, and people from Hartlepool are still affectionately known as monkey hangers today, a nickname commemorated by a statue at the town's marina and by the football club's own monkey mascot.

Types of Materials found in Hartlepool

Is the ground in Hartlepool suitable for fence posts?

Do I need planning permission for a fence in Hartlepool?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Hartlepool. Hartlepool Borough Council can confirm any extra rules for specific properties.
Does Hartlepool's weather affect fencing choices?
Hartlepool'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 Hartlepool?
Hartlepool Borough Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
