Fencing in Findon
Findon is a downland village north of Worthing inside the South Downs National Park. Larger plots, sloping gardens and rural boundaries mean post and rail, stock fencing and stepped closeboard are common here.
Local tip. Planning in the national park is handled by the South Downs National Park Authority, and natural timber finishes often sit best with the setting.
