About Fencing in Lymington
Lymington in Hampshire began as an Anglo Saxon village recorded in the Domesday Book under the name Lentune, and it flourished for centuries on the export of salt produced from salt pans first developed by the Normans along the coastal marshes stretching from the town to Hurst Spit. Production intensified through the 1700s as an industrial approach to salt making took hold along the Solent, making use of the flat coastline and double tides, and by the late 18th century some 149 salt pans were operating along this stretch of coast, producing around 4,000 tons of salt a year by the 1800s. Rising taxes, a run of poor seasons and competition from cheaper mined salt out of Cheshire, made easier to transport by improving roads and railways, brought the trade to an end, and the last saltern on the Lymington coast closed in 1866.

Does Lymington'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 Solent shoreline.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Lymington?
Hampshire 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.
