A fence at a property I own and rent out has blown down during the
storms. Are details of ownership of fences on the deeds/plan available
from Registry Trust online ?

Ownership of the fence various. It is often the practice in some parts
of the country that all boundaries are shared; in other parts of the
country you own the boundary on the left-hand side (as you look from
the front of the house).

The Land Registry documents don't usually mention this, but for the
sake of £3 you can download a copy and have a look. Otherwise you may
have to look at the original, old-fashioned deeds to find out.

On the outline map supplied with my house deeds, the boundaries that I
am liable to maintain are marked along that border with what looks a
small 'T' on my side of the fence.
If the neighbour is liable, the 'T' is on his side.
I have no idea if this is typical marking of boundaries.

It is. The file plan obtainable from HM Land Registry will indicate fence
ownership with T marks when it was shown in the information submitted when
the property was registered.

Oh that it was so simple! Take a look at http://www.boundary-problems.co.uk/

Great site, but I didn't see anything there inconsistent with what I said;
in fact is says the same thing with regard to T-marks.

The point I was trying to amke is that the T marks are only the starting
point and that the law relating to boundaries is often much more complex.

The OP wasn't asking about location of boundaries - only about ownership of
fences. If there are T-marks on the Land Registry plans, that is pretty
conclusive unless there is strong evidence that something else has happened
on the ground. Of course there may be no T-marks...

Thanks - it's not on the plan - is a full version of the deeds
available from the land registry ? Property built in 1995 and I
purchased in 1999.
