Fencing in Goring-by-Sea
Goring-by-Sea runs along the western edge of Worthing, with plenty of 1930s semis, bungalows and detached houses on generous plots. Gardens close to the seafront take the brunt of south westerly winds, so storm repairs and stronger replacement fences are some of the most common jobs here.
Local tip. Near the seafront, closeboard on concrete posts or a slatted design that lets wind through will usually outlast standard lap panels.
