We don't accept payment in exchange for a place in the Top 5 — featured placements are separate and always clearly labelled. Rankings may change over time as businesses evolve.
Fencing projects vary by material, length, site and purpose. Before booking, confirm the fence type and materials, whether gates or automation are involved, and how the contractor handles sloped sites or any retaining.
Ask for an itemised quote covering materials, removal of old fencing, access, and timelines — and check whether pool fencing meets current safety requirements where relevant.
Fencing cost depends on the materials (timber, aluminium, steel or composite), the length and height, ground conditions and access, and whether gates, automation or retaining are involved. Always get an itemised quote, including removal and disposal of any old fence.
Many do, including timber, sliding and swing gates, plus automation and access control. If you want a gate as part of the job, confirm the scope — automated and driveway gates in particular need to be specified up front.
It depends on height and location. Standard boundary fences usually don't need consent, but pool fencing must meet specific safety-barrier rules, and taller fences or those acting as retaining may. Ask your contractor, who deals with this regularly.
Under the Fencing Act 1978, neighbours generally share the cost of an 'adequate' boundary fence equally. The process is to serve a fencing notice and agree the work and cost in writing before starting — important if you want to recover a contribution.
Timber, aluminium and composite all perform well; coastal and exposed Auckland sites favour corrosion-resistant materials like aluminium, or treated and well-maintained timber. A fencing contractor can recommend the best option for your exposure, look and budget.
Most residential fences take from one to a few days, depending on length, terrain, materials and whether gates or retaining are involved. Hard or rocky ground, and concrete-setting posts, can add time — your contractor should give you a realistic schedule.
