About Fencing in Skegness
Skegness was a modest fishing and farming village of under 200 people before the railway arrived in 1875 and transformed it into one of England's most popular seaside resorts, helped by the Victorian belief that sea air and bathing were good for health. The town became home to the first ever Butlins holiday camp in 1936, and its long sandy beach remains a major draw for visitors today.

Types of Materials found in Skegness
Skegness sits on the Lincolnshire coast, where glacial till deposited during the last ice age overlies chalk bedrock, with longshore drift carrying sediment south along the coast and settling into distinctive sandbank features just offshore. Ground closer to the immediate coastline can include sandier, more mobile material linked to the beach and dune system, while areas further inland generally sit on the more typical till dominated ground found across this part of Lincolnshire.

Is the ground in Skegness suitable for fence posts?
Ground near the immediate coastline can be sandier and more mobile due to the beach and dune system, while areas further inland generally sit on more typical glacial till, which holds water and drains slower.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Skegness?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Skegness. East Lindsey District Council can confirm any extra rules for properties near the seafront.
Does Skegness's coastal position affect fencing choices?
Being right on the North Sea coast, Skegness properties face strong onshore winds and salt laden air, so pressure treated timber and galvanised or stainless fixings hold up considerably better than untreated materials.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Skegness?
East Lindsey District Council operates household waste recycling centres that accept timber and garden waste. Many local fencing contractors will also remove your old fence as part of the installation.
