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.
-
Are plastic fences of good quality?
PVC fences are UV resistant and will keep their color. They are also resistant to warping, rotting and corrosion. Their lifespan can be more than 20 years.
-
How do i take care of a plastic fence?
Plastic fences are easy to maintain. All you have to do is rinse it with water from time to time to keep it clean.

Any further info can be requested via email or Whatsapp, thank you. I have an existing palisade fence (41 metres) which I just want to put electrical fencing on top of. There is a vehicle gate included in the palisade fence - about 5 metres long. There is also a small pedestrian gate. as part of the palisade fence. Energiser & Electricity will need to come from the garage, about 5 metres from the palisade fence.
