About Fencing in Poole
Poole in Dorset is home to one of the largest natural harbours on the south coast, and its most famous historical moment took place on Brownsea Island within that harbour, where Robert Baden-Powell held an experimental camp for twenty boys on the first of August 1907. Baden-Powell recruited ten boys from public schools and ten from local Boys Brigade branches in Bournemouth and Poole for the camp, which he used to test the ideas he later published in Scouting for Boys, and that single week on Brownsea Island is now recognised as the starting point of the worldwide Scouting and Guiding movement. A bronze statue of Baden-Powell has stood on Poole Quay since 2008, marking the town's place in that history, while the harbour itself, occupying the northern shore of a broad natural inlet, has remained central to Poole's identity as a port town for centuries.

Does Poole'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 harbour.

BCP 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.
