Post and Rail Fencing in Ticknall

At a new housing development in the village of Ticknall, renowned for its beauty and history, Ashdale Fencing recently was called to a project that would redefine the boundaries outside the new homes and give the residents some additional privacy from pedestrians.

This initiative was sparked by the concerns of residents in a newly developed estate, who found their private driveways becoming unintended thoroughfares for pedestrians. Our solution? A simple and seamless blend of practicality and aesthetics through the installation of posts and rail fencing, complemented by the creation of a charming garden area.

New Fencing in Ticknall

The advent of new housing brings with it the challenge of integrating community access with individual privacy. In Ticknall, the privacy of the new residents was being compromised as their private driveways had become shortcuts for foot traffic. Recognising the need for a solution that respects both the pedestrian’s right of way and the homeowner’s privacy, Ashdale Fencing was approached to create a barrier that was both effective and in keeping with the area’s look and feel.

Our response to the challenge was twofold: firstly, to install a post and rail fence that would delineate the private property in a visually appealing manner; and secondly, to enhance the look of the area with the addition of a small garden area. This approach was designed not just to discourage the use of driveways as cut-throughs but to offer an alternative pathway that was both attractive and functional.

Selecting the Right Materials for the New Fencing

For the fencing, we chose materials that would blend seamlessly with the rustic charm of Ticknall while offering durability and low maintenance. The posts and rails were carefully selected to complement the natural feel of the surrounding area, creating a subtle yet effective boundary that encourages pedestrians to stick to the footpaths.

Enhancing Fencing with a Garden

The small garden area we introduced serves as a green buffer, enhancing the visual appeal of the solution and providing a natural incentive for pedestrians to adhere to the designated footpaths. This garden not only adds to the aesthetic value of the neighbourhood but also will promote biodiversity and support local wildlife, embodying Ashdale Fencing’s commitment to environmentally conscious practices.
