Fencing and Gates

Fence panels are sturdy fence sections that have been pre-made and can be slotted in for convenience. Fence panels come in various styles in New Zealand, including overlap and featheredge.

Fencing accessories include fence clips, fencing brackets, and fence wraps. Fencing accessories help hold the fence together for additional stability and security.

A sliding gate is great if you are tight on space. As the name indicates, a sliding gate slides back to open, taking up very little space.

Turnstile gates only allow one person to enter at a time. They are very popular in large stadiums in New Zealand as an efficient way to manage foot traffic.

Vertical pivot gates are great if you are tight on space. They open vertically into the air allowing people to pass underneath.

Swing gates are becoming more popular in New Zealand, and as the same suggests, they swing in either direction and close after being released.

Whether you need something to keep the kids in, mark a boundary or refresh a space, high-quality fencing and gates will do the trick. Investing in good quality products to start made from superior materials means that they will last decades if properly maintained. High quality options are designed for smooth and efficient, continual and long-term use. They also tend to be more stylish with a greater range of designs to choose from. That means you’re more likely to find something that is unique and interesting that appeals to your individual tastes. Front fences and gates can help define the entrance to a property, so their height, material and relationship with the house warrant careful consideration. For households planning dog fences and gates, the height and gaps between rails can affect how well a boundary contains a dog.

Choosing the right fencing and gate solutions can be tough. With so many options to choose from in New Zealand, it is important to get it right. Before you start looking, you should measure where you want your fencing or gate to go so you have exact measurements to work with. Next, think about the practicalities involved as some types of fences and gates work best for specific situations. For instance, a sliding gate is only possible if there is a fenceline for it to slide along. Materials are also important for many reasons, one of the most important being your local climate. For coastal locations, materials that are susceptible to corrosion are typically best avoided. Understanding these things as well as knowing what your priorities are be it functional or aesthetic, will help make that final choice so much easier. Farm fences and gates may need a different balance of access, boundary control and durability from residential fencing. Budget is another consideration when comparing affordable gates and fencing, alongside the material and maintenance requirements. Brick fences and gates can include masonry pillars with metal elements, so the junction between materials needs to be considered in the design.
