What we put up
Fencing first, gates a close second, and the timber jobs that go with them.
Closeboard fencing on galvanised posts
Closeboard fencing put up on Durapost galvanised steel posts, for a solid, sturdy and good-looking fence.
Gates, fitted and repaired
Gate installation and repair, from a new garden gate at the front of the house to hardwood driveway gates, supplied and fitted.
Old fence down? We clear it and start again
If an old fence has blown over, we take it down, clear the debris away on every visit and leave the garden tidy (and safe for the dog) before the new one goes up.
Horse arenas
Arena work for horse owners, finished with Bowen mix sand.
Decking and covered pergolas
New decking, with a covered pergola over it if you want somewhere to sit out whatever the weather.
Timber fronts
A new timber front for a lakeside lodge, windows and doors included.

Timber boards, galvanised steel posts
Closeboard on Durapost galvanised steel posts is one of our regular jobs, from Garstang to Forton and across Wyre.
“Another happy customer with durapost closeboard install”


Gates, big and small
Garden gates, front gates and hardwood driveway gates, supplied and fitted, plus repairs to the ones you already have.



Horse arenas and post and rail
Not every job is a back garden. We build for horse owners too.
“Another one of these horsey things last week, Bowen mix used, seems like a great sand, just add horses!”


Decking, pergolas and timber fronts
Alongside the fencing: new decking, pergolas (covered or open) and, now and then, a whole new timber front.






“New front on this lodge! Windows, doors and timber”

What customers say
Every Google review so far is five stars.
“Excellent communication with James (Forton Fencing) from the start of the job until completion. Our old fence had blown over and James took it down (which can't have been an easy task in itself) and removed all the debris on each visit leaving the site tidy and dog friendly. We and our neighbours are really pleased with the end result, and would recommend Forton Fencing to anyone who wants a solid, good- looking fence and friendly and prompt customer service.”
“We were very impressed by this highly professional firm, Forton Fencing. From start to finish the service was excellent. The standard of workmanship was first class with highly competitive pricing. We are delighted and can't thank James and Tom enough for our super, sturdy, beautiful new fence. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for new fencing.”
