Request a quoteRating i will give is a 5 very professional. We will be using for further fencing to our property.
Reasonably priced. Hennie continued to communicate the problems they experienced with the sourcing of the specific colour of the netting. He even got the representative to call me personally to explain that their system reflected availability of the colour we wanted, but there was nothing in stock.
Could not supply the colour we wanted. It was however not his mistake.

Request a quoteHennie was on time when the work was discussed. As per our discussion I asked for the existing fence to be re-erected and fixed it was re -erected but was not fixed.
Would have prefered for every diamond profile on the top and bottom strand to be tied with wire. But it seems that only the second or third was tied. My reason for the bottom to be tied on every diamond profile is because we have 3 pitbulls in the yard and would not like for the dogs to break thru the bottom of the fence.

Frequently asked questions
-
How does the climate affect different fence materials?
When choosing a fence, you should take into account the climate of the area where you live. For example, in colder climates, consider the frost line and use concrete anchors placed deep enough to support the fence posts. For warmer and wetter climates, you should stay away from most woods because they are susceptible to water damage. Vinyl is the best choice for more temperate regions as it can hold up in damp weather, but it can be damaged by extreme heat. If you live in an area that experiences frequent frigid temperatures, then you may want to stick with more durable materials. Metal, bamboo and specific species of wood are the most resilient materials in colder climates.
-
How high can my fence be?
Boundary walls and fences must be measured from the existing level of the ground that abuts the wall or fence. If the level of the ground on opposite sides of the fence or wall are not equal, the height should be measured from the higher of the two sides. If soil is retained by a boundary wall, the maximum permitted height of the retained soil is 2,1 m. This should be measured from the natural ground level in front of the wall. A balustrade wall not exceeding 1 m in height is permitted above the level of the retained soil.
-
Do I need a plan for building a fence?
For any fences that do not exceed 1.8 m in height you won’t need a plan as they are considered “minor building work”. However, you will still need authorisation by your local authority's building control officer.
-
How secure is palisade fencing?
Palisade fences offer great security as they are very sturdy and the spiked top makes it very difficult for someone to climb over without hurting themself.
-
How durable are palisade fences?
Palisade fences have an average lifespan of 25 years.
