About David Musson Fencing
Timber, fencing and landscaping materials are supplied to farmers, councils, equestrian centres and the general public from a Leicestershire yard that has been trading since 1981. Orders range from a single fence panel to lorry loads of posts and aggregate for larger contracts.
The timber side covers creosoted machine rounds and sawn sections, planed C16 and C24 timber, CLS studwork and fence posts in various treatments, alongside sleepers, cladding and long length poles. Fencing options include closeboard and feather edge panels, hazel and chestnut panels, trellis and picket fencing, DuraPost steel-cored posts and timber fence posts, with concrete posts and gravel boards for those wanting a masonry base. Gates run from pedestrian and entrance gates to timber field gates and galvanised metal yard gates, with matching ironwork sold separately. Decking is available in timber or Millboard composite, and the wire and netting range extends to chicken and rabbit netting, stock netting and electric fencing kit. Beyond the garden, the yard also stocks MDPE water pipe and fittings, drainage products and water troughs for agricultural use.
The business remains family run, more than four decades on from its founding, and works from its own site rather than a nationwide network of branches. Its own fleet, including crane-mounted and Moffett-equipped lorries, handles delivery of bulk and heavy items such as timber and aggregate within roughly 80 miles of the yard, with courier delivery used for smaller orders. Trade and public customers order both online and by phone.

Questions about David Musson Fencing
Can David Musson Fencing cut timber to a specific size?
No, the company does not offer a timber cutting service, and it is also unable to make or cut fence panels to bespoke sizes.
Can David Musson Fencing supply gates in specific sizes?
Standard fence panels cannot be made to a custom size, but specific size gates can be ordered in from one of the company's suppliers by speaking to a member of staff.
How long does treated timber from David Musson Fencing last?
Life expectancy depends on the species of timber, the treatment applied and the ground conditions it is used in; treatment grades such as UC4 can offer up to 15 years, while creosote-treated timber for agricultural use can last up to 40 years.
Should I re-treat timber bought from David Musson Fencing?
Treated timber is recommended to be re-treated once a year, starting two or three years after it is first installed, in order to prolong its lifespan.
Does David Musson Fencing install the fencing it sells?
No, the company supplies materials only and does not carry out installation, though it can put customers in touch with contractors it deals with regularly.
How far will David Musson Fencing deliver for free?
David Musson Fencing uses its own fleet of lorries and vans to deliver larger or heavier orders within 80 miles of its Leicestershire site. Beyond that radius, delivery is still possible but is charged at a custom rate rather than the standard one.
Can David Musson Fencing deliver outside its usual delivery radius?
Yes, deliveries can still be arranged beyond the standard delivery area, either by requesting a quote on the website or by contacting the team directly by phone or email.
Does David Musson Fencing use couriers for smaller orders?
Smaller items that fall below the weight and length threshold for the in-house fleet are sent out by courier rather than on one of the company's own vehicles.
How does David Musson Fencing get large orders like gates or panels to site?
Larger or bulky items are moved using the company's own fleet, which includes lorries fitted with rear-mounted cranes or Moffett forklifts capable of shifting pallets of posts or panels right up to the customer's door.
Can I order online with a David Musson Fencing trade account?
At present, trade account holders are not able to place orders online and would need to order through another channel.
