Fencing · Composite · Gates
Timber and composite fencing, gates and decking for homes across Rhoose, from the old village to Rhoose Point.
Rhoose fencing
Rhoose Point is the most southerly point of mainland Wales, and the estate behind it has greatly extended the village. More than 1,000 homes now stand on land once taken up by a cement works and quarry, alongside the older streets of the village, with Cardiff Airport on the doorstep.
On the newer streets, many gardens still have the fencing the builder put up: thin panels on timber posts that start to lean after a few winters of wind off the Channel. We take them out and replace them with concrete posts and gravel boards, finished in featheredge, hit and miss or composite panels.
Composite suits Rhoose well. It will not rot or need painting, and it comes in grey, walnut and beige, so it can be matched to a newer home's windows and render.
Open-plan fronts
Many newer estates were designed with open-plan front gardens, and the original planning permission sometimes removes the right to put up a front fence or wall. Before booking a front boundary on a recent development, check your deeds and ask the Vale of Glamorgan Council.
Where a front fence is allowed, it can be up to 1 metre high next to a road used by vehicles or its pavement. A low picket or composite fence marks the boundary without closing off the street.
Back gardens are usually simpler, with up to 2 metres allowed in most cases.
Composite colours
Composite comes in more than one colour, and timber can be stained to suit. Here are some of the panels and gates we fit.

Drives and gates
Newer homes often have a drive beside the house, and a pair of gates there keeps children and dogs in and the bins out of sight. We fit timber, metal and composite driveway gates, made to the width of the opening.
Composite gates in an aluminium frame are a good match for composite fencing and will not warp or need painting in the sea air.

A deck outside the back door gives you somewhere level to sit, and a side gate finishes the job.

How it works
Permissions
Back gardens
Fences and gates up to 2 metres high usually need no planning permission in Wales.
Front gardens
Next to a road used by vehicles or its pavement the limit falls to 1 metre, and some estates have planning conditions that rule out front fences altogether.
Your council
Rhoose comes under the Vale of Glamorgan Council, who can confirm what applies to your home.
Swapping an old fence for a new one of the same height rarely needs an application.
