Fencing covers timber, metal, PVC, pool fencing, retaining and gates, and each has its own requirements. In Hastings, rural and lifestyle exposure means posts, footings and materials should suit the site, so post depth, footing and material choice should suit your site, not just the cheapest option.
Confirm whether the quote includes materials, removal of the old fence, and any retaining or gates. For boundary fences it is worth discussing cost-sharing with your neighbour, and for pool fencing make sure the contractor builds to the compliance rules.
Cost depends on length, height, material, ground conditions and whether retaining or gates are involved. Timber paling is common and cost-effective; metal, PVC and feature fencing cost more. Get a quote that covers materials, labour, old-fence removal and any concrete footings.
Treated timber and Colorsteel suit the Hawke's Bay climate, and many local contractors also handle rural, orchard, vineyard and lifestyle fencing. Well-set posts and footings matter as much as the panels, especially where wind or ground movement is a factor, so ask your contractor what they recommend for your site.
Under the Fencing Act, neighbours generally share the cost of a reasonable boundary fence. It is best to agree the type and cost in writing before work starts. A good fencing contractor can quote clearly so you and your neighbour can split it fairly.
Many do, and pool fencing must meet specific safety compliance rules. Use a contractor experienced in compliant pool fencing, as it is checked by Hastings District Council and getting it wrong is both unsafe and costly to remedy.
Often yes, and fencing and retaining frequently go together on sloping sites. Larger retaining walls may need building consent and engineering, so confirm whether your contractor handles that or works with an engineer.
A standard residential fence is often a few days depending on length, terrain and whether footings need to cure. Access, ground conditions and weather all affect timing, so ask for an indicative schedule when you accept the quote.
