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.

Do I need council consent?
Many jobs don’t require consent, but some heights, structures or site conditions do. We’ll advise on any consent requirements specific to your project.
What materials do you use?

What areas do you service?
We service all of New Zealand, with local teams covering residential, rural and commercial work nationwide.
Should I repair or replace my fence?
Isolated damage can usually be repaired, while widespread rot, rust or age across most of the fence often makes replacement more cost-effective. We’ll give you an honest assessment either way.
Can you match repairs to my existing fence?
Yes, we do our best to match repairs to your existing style, height and colour where materials are available.
Do you handle storm damage repairs?
Yes — we assess structural damage first and can prioritise repairs affecting security or safety, and provide documentation to support insurance claims where needed.
Can you replace just one broken post?
Yes, individual posts can usually be replaced without disturbing the rest of the fence.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency repair?
Send us a photo for an initial assessment — we prioritise repairs affecting security, safety or pool compliance and aim to respond quickly.
Do you repair gates and hardware only?
Yes, we can repair or replace just the hinges, latches or gate itself without touching the rest of the fence.
