Fence installation rules in New Zealand
- A building consent is usually not required for a fence up to 2.5m, but district-plan height, street-frontage, heritage and visibility rules can still apply.
- Pool barriers are a separate category: they require building consent and must comply with Building Code clause F9.
- For a shared boundary, the Fencing Act 1978 sets the notice process and generally provides for neighbours to share the reasonable cost of an adequate fence.
- Confirm the legal boundary before building; retaining walls, easements and work near services may need specialist advice.
General guidance only. Check your council and project-specific requirements before construction.

FAQs
Chain Link Fencing FAQs
How long does chain link fencing last?
Galvanised chain link typically lasts 15–20 years; PVC-coated mesh can last even longer with added weather resistance.
Is chain link fencing suitable for pets and livestock?
Yes, it’s a common and effective choice for containing pets and smaller livestock on rural and residential properties.
What’s the difference between galvanised and PVC-coated?
Galvanised is the more affordable standard option; PVC-coated adds a weather-resistant coloured coating and a tidier appearance.
Does chain link fencing need maintenance?
Minimal — it doesn’t need painting, though we recommend checking tension and posts periodically.
How much does chain link fencing cost per metre?
Typically $90–150 per linear metre installed depending on coating. See our pricing guide above.
Can you add a gate to my chain link fence?
Yes, matching gates with posts and hardware are available as part of the same job.
How long does installation take?
Most residential and rural chain link fencing jobs are completed within 1–2 days depending on length.
What height do I need for a secure commercial site?
Commercial and security sites typically use 1.8–2.4m mesh with heavier gauge wire, often paired with barbed wire or anti-climb upgrades.
Can chain link fencing keep pets contained?
Yes — it’s one of the most common and cost-effective ways to contain pets, especially with smaller mesh sizes.
Do you offer chain link fencing for rural or farm boundaries?
Yes, galvanised chain link is a popular, affordable option for paddocks and rural boundaries.
Can barbed wire or anti-climb features be added?
Yes, we can add barbed wire toppers, anti-climb mesh spacing or extra bracing for higher-security sites.
Can I get a gate wide enough for vehicle access?
Yes, we build both pedestrian and wider vehicle gates in matching mesh and coating.
Is PVC-coated mesh worth the extra cost?
It offers better corrosion resistance and a tidier appearance than standard galvanised, which is worthwhile on visible residential boundaries.
