About Fencing in Weymouth
Weymouth in Dorset became one of England's first true seaside resorts after King George III made his first visit in 1789, taking a dip in Weymouth Bay from one of the earliest known bathing machines on the advice that sea air and salt water would help his health. He returned so often over the following sixteen years, eventually buying Gloucester Lodge from his brother, that the town's grateful residents erected a statue to him in 1810 to mark his Golden Jubilee, complete with a replica of his bathing machine still on display in the gardens below. Much of the Georgian seafront architecture still visible along the bay dates from this period of royal patronage. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the DT4 postcode area.

Is the ground in Weymouth suitable for fence posts?
Weymouth sits on Jurassic limestone and clay, generally firm, though ground near the seafront can be sandier and benefit from deeper footings.
Do I need planning permission for a fence in Weymouth?
Most fences up to two metres in a back garden, or one metre facing a road, do not need planning permission in Weymouth. Dorset Council can confirm any extra rules for coastal or listed properties.
Does Weymouth'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 seafront.
Where can I dispose of old fencing in Weymouth?
Dorset 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.
