About Fencing in Looe
Looe in Cornwall has been a working fishing port for centuries, its pilchard trade declining through the 1950s as stocks fell, leaving just one canning factory by 1960. The town instead became the unofficial capital of British shark angling after the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain was founded here in 1953, with the Looe fleet recording over six thousand shark catches in 1960 alone, a sport now practised on a strict catch and release basis.

Types of Materials found in Looe
Looe sits on Devonian slate bedrock typical of the south Cornwall coast, generally giving firm, stony 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, while the steep valley sides around the harbour can also mean uneven ground.
