    Fencing Services in Dunedin

    From new fence installation to repairs, painting and gates — one point of contact for your whole project.

    Timber Fencing New Zealand
    Timber Fencing

    Timber paling fences provide backyard privacy, while lower picket styles suit an older Dunedin frontage. We build new boundaries and replacement fences with a finish that works with the house.

    Aluminium Fencing New Zealand
    Aluminium Fencing

    Aluminium panels offer a neat, open boundary with less upkeep than painted timber. Their powder-coated finish suits Dunedin front gardens where the house and planting should remain visible.

    Pool Fencing New Zealand
    Pool Fencing

    Our pool fencing separates the swimming area with open panels and a gate that closes and latches itself. Fitting the barrier to the section keeps the enclosure clearly defined.

    PVC & Vinyl Fencing New Zealand
    PVC & Vinyl Fencing

    PVC offers the crisp appearance of a painted fence without timber rot or routine repainting. It suits Dunedin homeowners wanting a simple boundary alongside weatherboards or an established garden.

    Steel / Metal Fencing New Zealand
    Steel / Metal Fencing

    We install steel fencing for front boundaries, driveways and yards. Around the harbour and Peninsula, suitable finishes and fixings help the fence cope with coastal exposure.

    Chain Link Fencing New Zealand
    Chain Link Fencing

    Chain link provides an open enclosure for back boundaries, school grounds and yards. The mesh defines the space without the visual weight of solid fencing across a longer run.

    Fence Repairs New Zealand
    Fence Repairs

    We replace damaged palings, rails and posts on ageing Dunedin fences. Repairs focus on the parts that have failed, keeping usable sections where a full replacement isn't necessary.

    Fence Painting & Staining New Zealand
    Fence Painting & Staining

    We refresh painted and stained fences with preparation suited to the existing surface. A fresh finish can tie an older Dunedin boundary back in with the house and garden.

    Garden Fencing New Zealand
    Garden Fencing

    Low pickets frame a cottage garden, while trellis and paling screens add separation along side paths. We build garden fencing that complements Dunedin's older homes without hiding their character.

    Gates for Fences New Zealand
    Gates for Fences

    Side gates and driveway gates complete the boundary while keeping access straightforward. For Dunedin hill sections, the gate's fit takes the slope into account so it has room to open.

    We couldn't be happier with our gate installation by Dylan. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommended.

    Common Questions About Fencing in Dunedin

    Under the Building Act, most fences up to 2.5 m high don't need a building consent. Height limits at the road boundary and in some zones are set by the Dunedin City Council District Plan, and swimming-pool barriers always need consent and inspection. We'll tell you what applies to your section when we quote. See the Dunedin City Council website and the MBIE building consent exemptions guide.

    Pool barriers must be at least 1.2 m high with self-closing, self-latching gates, and they need a building consent and a council inspection every three years. We build to the Building Code barrier requirements and can arrange the inspection paperwork.

    Yes. Stepped or raked fences that follow the slope are standard for Dunedin's hill suburbs, and we build timber retaining as part of the fence line where the ground needs it, with drainage behind the wall.

    A typical 30–40 m boundary fence takes two to three days on site once we start. Longer runs, retaining or gates add time. We confirm your start date when you accept the quote, and it's usually within a few weeks depending on the season.

    Yes. Removal and disposal of the existing fence is quoted as a line item so you can see the cost, and we take it away the same day we start.

    Under the Fencing Act 1978, neighbours normally share the cost of an adequate boundary fence equally. You need to give your neighbour written notice with the proposed fence and cost before work starts. We'll give you a quote you can share with them, and we can build once you've agreed.

    The Real Fencing team in Dunedin

    Dunedin's hill suburbs, older villas and long wet winters shape most of our work here. Sloping sections in Roslyn, Mornington and Maori Hill often need retaining as part of the fence line, so we plan drainage behind any wall before the posts go in. We use H4 or H5 treated posts in ground because of the moisture, and allow for frost heave on the flat. Properties in the city's heritage precincts can carry rules on fence style and height at the street frontage, so we check those before quoting. Out on the Otago Peninsula, wind exposure decides post spacing.
