Uk generally in uk usually found in the deeds for the property. The property owner is responsible for the north boundry and all other boundries are shared . Six feet is the standard for rear garden boundries front boundries may be 3 feet max sometimes 4 ft and in certain areas no fences or walls, it all in the deeds. You may go up to 8 ft for a panel or two for privacy where window or doors over look one another from adjacent houses. If you want to claim a fence outright it has to be placed inside your property line

Dj already subscribed great team. Few points not saying this is only way .not all the way through video yet but comments mounting. Uk tape measures have both imperial and metric scale on them, as a child went metric when we joined common market With Europe. Gravel boards are exactly what you said to lay or retain gravel or soil to prevent fence rotting. Dry post concrete will hold the post in position and allow you to continue constitution, wet concrete you will need to stabilize the posts until they are set. A weaker setting concrete is generally used holds the post into position for years and years. It can be broken away Easier if it needs replacing or moves from subsidence.

Here in Northern Ireland the way the fence faces dictates who owns and maintains the fence is defined by the rails and posts being on the side of the owner. The finished side normally always faces the non owner side.

I have a house in the States and the UK. Worth remembering that the States has A LOT more wood so you use the materials you have. Whilst we can learn things from each other you have to put the people and environment in content. Perfect example is road building. All motorways in the UK are 3 lanes and asphalt and much smoother and to be honest better quality. But you have to put that in context, most UK roads are a couple of hundred miles long, US freeways like the I90 is over 3000 miles long and face weather deterioration through the great plains that no British road will ever be exposed to. I always believe I'm understanding the context before critiquing the methods used.

There is also the cultural context. The South of the UK has 2000 people per square kilometer. Nebraska where I have my house is 23.8 people per square mile. As a result the British politeness and obsession with privacy the fence is not just a demarcation line but a barrier to view to ensure privacy. US fencing is designed to keep in livestock and during the great push West Americans were forced to rely on others and are therefore culturally less bothered by privacy. I can find information on US citizens that if you published the same information in the UK would get you sent to Jail such as political party membership.

The zigzag lines I think you are referring to are at pedestrian crossings no one should stop on theme so you are not obstruct the view of the crossing also you are not allowed to overtake a vehicle with in them but we still get idiots parking on them nipping in to the shop if you are spotted by the police 👮‍♀️ your will get a ticket 🎫 I use to work for BT the telephone company in U.K. and in each area we would have a plant project official who would come out and mark up the ground you would get the bill for the damage if you hit cables Which could cost thousands when the cable company came along and started putting the plant in from scratch they damaged a lot of BT cables and would not now pay the bill for repairs until till we sent the Bailiffs to the office buildings take the computer Equipment
