Fencing Guide & Inspiration
Choosing the right fence for your home
Quick links: Our Range Comparison Table FAQs
A fence is an extension of your home and lifestyle. It provides privacy, safety, security, and street appeal whilst connecting you to your neighbours. Whether you are framing your swimming pool, adding flair with trellis, or simply building a boundary fence, you want to be sure you’re making the right choice when investing in a fence and gate. Selecting the best material for your fence and landscaping project will come down to your preferences such as desired aesthetic, lifestyle, and budget.
Timber Fencing
An ever-popular choice, timber fencing is functional, aesthetically pleasing, and easily customised. A timber fence and gate will require regular cleaning, painting, and staining. Our selection ranges from standard posts and palings through to premium options such as Primewood, laminated, and picket fences, plus decorative trellis. Explore more here.
Metal Fencing
A sleek, low-maintenance option for your home, metal fencing is strong and made to withstand the elements. Our range of powder coated aluminium and coloured steel fence panels and gates is available in a variety of styles including solid panels, slatted privacy screens, or tubular style that’s ideal for your swimming pool. To browse the full range, click here.
Composite Fencing
A modern solution to fencing, composite products are typically engineered from recycled wood and plastic. The result is a sustainable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber fencing. Composite fences don’t require painting or staining, are easy to install, and both neighbours get ‘the good side’. Our range includes Stabifence, BiForm, and Durafence. Learn more here.
Glass Fencing
A glass fence is perfect for swimming pools, balconies, patios, or areas of your property where you want undisrupted views. To read more about our selection of glass fence and balustrade panels, click here.

What you need to know before you start your fencing project
Do I need consent?
Swimming pool fences require consent. For most other fences under 2.5M, consent is not required.
Always check with your local council when planning your fence project to see if your property is subject to any other rules such as heritage, natural features, or utilities.
The Building Performance website has more information on building codes relating to fences:
Who pays for the boundary fence?
When building a fence that separates your property from your neighbours, it is typical that the costs are shared between you both. First you will need to agree on details such as the height, building materials, and budget. The Fencing Act outlines your rights and obligations.
The Consumer NZ website has more information, including how to settle a dispute:
How do I know where my boundary is?
Your boundary is outlined on the legal title for your property. There should also be markers along the boundary on the ground, although sometimes these are hidden or missing. If you cannot find your boundary markers, you can engage a surveyor to help you.
