About Fencing in Penzance
Penzance in Cornwall bore a reputation as one of the country's most pirate plagued towns, raided repeatedly by Barbary Coast corsairs from the sixteenth century, with 60 men, women and children reportedly taken from a local church in 1625. The Admiral Benbow, an inn serving rum to sailors and smugglers since 1695, later inspired Robert Louis Stevenson, who holidayed in the town in 1880, to feature it in Treasure Island, while the flamboyant Egyptian House on Chapel Street, built in 1835, remains one of the most photographed buildings in Cornwall.

Types of Materials found in Penzance

Does Penzance's weather affect fencing choices?
Penzance's coastal, salt laden air can accelerate wear on untreated timber, so a good quality preservative treatment is recommended for fencing near the seafront.
