Fencing in Dolgellau
Garden fences, post and rail, stock fencing and equestrian fencing, supplied and put up by a local crew from Brithdir. Straight lines, solid posts and a clean finish.
Which fence suits your ground?
Every fence is a trade-off between privacy, cost, the view and the weather. Here’s how the main types compare. If you’re still not sure, we’ll look at the site and tell you honestly what we’d put up.
| Fence | Good for | What it’s like |
|---|---|---|
| Feather edge and closeboard | Back gardens, boundaries next to neighbours, anywhere you want privacy. | Overlapping vertical boards fixed to rails, solid from top to bottom. Blocks the view and breaks the wind, so it needs strong posts on exposed ground. |
| Post and rail | Marking a boundary, driveway edges, paddocks, the top of a wall. | Timber posts with two or more horizontal rails. Open and tidy, keeps the view, and looks at home in the countryside. |
| Stock fencing | Fields, farm boundaries and smallholdings. | Wire mesh on timber posts, pulled tight, often with a line of wire above. Built to keep sheep and cattle where they belong. |
| Equestrian fencing | Paddocks, horse fields and around arenas. | Post and rail built with horses in mind: strong rails, sound fixings and a smooth line along the field. |
| Something bespoke | Steep slopes, awkward corners, matching an old fence, screening a bin store or oil tank. | We talk it through on site and build to suit, using the same solid posts and fixings. |

Fencing questions
Where we put up fences
In and around Dolgellau, from Barmouth and Fairbourne to Bala and Dinas Mawddwy.
Which fence is best for a windy, exposed garden?
A solid fence catches the wind like a sail, so on an exposed site the posts and fixings matter as much as the boards. Sometimes a fence with small gaps between the boards, or post and rail with a hedge behind it, copes better. We look at where the weather comes from and suggest something that will stand up to it.
Do you put up stock and agricultural fencing?
Yes. We put up stock fencing for fields and farm boundaries, from a short run to mend a gap to a whole field, and we can fit farm gates to go with it.
Do you supply the materials, or do I?
We supply and fit. We choose posts, rails, boards and wire to suit the site and what the fence has to do, and we explain the options before you decide.
Do I need permission to put up a fence?
It depends on the height, where the fence goes and whether it’s next to a road. Much of the area round Dolgellau is inside Eryri National Park, so if you’re unsure, ask the Eryri National Park Authority before work starts. We’re happy to help you describe what’s planned.
