About Fencing in St Ives
St Ives in Cornwall attracted artists from Victorian times onwards for its distinctive quality of light, a reputation that grew after the Great Western Railway reached West Cornwall in 1877. The painters Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth settled in the town during the Second World War, joined by sculptor Naum Gabo, forming the core of the influential St Ives School, and Tate St Ives, opened in 1993 on the site of a former gasworks overlooking Porthmeor Beach, now celebrates this artistic heritage.

Types of Materials found in St Ives
St Ives sits on granite bedrock typical of west Cornwall, generally giving firm ground for fence post footings on higher parts of the town. Coastal properties should account for salt laden air and exposure to Atlantic winds, which can shorten the lifespan of untreated timber near the seafront.
