Picture-frame fencing encloses each timber panel with defined horizontal and vertical trim. The result is more formal than a standard paling fence and looks considered from both sides. Careful panel proportions and stable framing help it perform across coastal wind, shifting clay and cold South Island winters.

For exposed coastal streets, sheltered town sections or cold elevated properties, we adjust post depth, drainage and fasteners to the site. This keeps the framed lines square through salt, strong wind, wet clay and repeated winter frosts.

How the Fence Looks From Each Side

See the framed presentation face and the carefully finished reverse elevation from each property.

Presentation Side

Facing the street or entrance, perimeter trim outlines every panel and creates a deliberate architectural pattern.

Property Side

From the home, neatly arranged rails and beads give the reverse side a composed, finished appearance.

Configure the Fence for Your Site

Set the panel width, infill profile, cap, treatment over sloping ground and gate design to complement the building.
