Building a fence

Building a Fence

A well built fence does more than mark a boundary. It improves privacy, adds security, and can transform the look of your outdoor space. Whether you need a simple garden fence, a sturdy boundary for pets, or a smart front fence that complements your home, we build fencing that is straight, stable, and made to last in Irish weather.

We handle new installations, replacements, and upgrades, with clear advice on materials, height, and layout. Our team keeps the site tidy, works safely around paths and planting, and finishes with clean lines and solid fixings you can trust.

Fence Types and Materials

Every property has different needs, so we offer a range of fencing styles and materials. We help you choose an option that suits your budget, the level of privacy you want, and the exposure of your site to wind and rain.

Popular options we install

• Timber panel fencing for privacy, with treated panels and strong posts for long term support.
• Feather edge fencing for a traditional look and excellent strength, ideal for windy areas.
• Close board fencing for high privacy and durability, often chosen for side and rear boundaries.
• Picket fencing for front gardens where visibility and kerb appeal matter.
• Post and rail fencing for larger plots and rural settings, practical and neat.
• Concrete posts and gravel boards to reduce ground contact and extend fence life.

If you are planning broader outdoor improvements, fencing can be coordinated with pathways, patios, and planting. Many clients book fencing alongside landscaping and gardening to ensure the whole garden works together visually and practically.

Our Fence Building Process

Good fencing starts with careful preparation. We focus on accurate setting out, reliable foundations, and fixings that stand up to years of use. You will know what to expect at every stage.

1. Site visit and measurement to confirm boundary lines, levels, access points, and any obstacles like trees or drains.
2. Planning the layout including fence height, gate placement, and panel spacing, with attention to wind exposure.
3. Ground preparation such as clearing old posts, removing roots where required, and levelling small dips.
4. Post installation with proper depth and alignment, using concrete where appropriate for stability.
5. Fitting rails and panels with consistent spacing, secure fixings, and neat edges along the full run.
6. Finishing touches including capping, staining or treatment guidance, and tidy up of the work area.

We can also remove and dispose of old fencing and debris as part of the job. If the fence line runs through overgrown areas, we can coordinate clearance with related garden clearance services so installation is not delayed.

Gates, Access, and Security Add Ons

A fence is only as practical as its access points. We install gates that open smoothly, latch securely, and match the style of your fence. From narrow side gates to wider double gates for driveways, we plan the clearances and hardware to suit daily use.

• Side gates for bins, bikes, and safe access to rear gardens.
• Driveway and double gates for wider openings, with strong hinges and drop bolts.
• Child and pet safety options such as reduced gaps, higher panels, and lockable latches.
• Security improvements including reinforced posts, anti sag gate hardware, and privacy height solutions.

If you are refreshing the full outdoor layout, fencing can be aligned with paths, lawns, and beds for a clean finish. We regularly coordinate work with professional landscaping services to keep levels, edging, and access consistent across the garden.

Pricing, Timelines, and What Affects Cost

Fence projects vary, so pricing depends on the length of the run, material choice, ground conditions, and access for materials. Sloped gardens, very soft ground, and removal of existing fencing can also affect the scope. We provide a clear quote outlining what is included, such as posts, panels, fixings, and disposal if required.

Most standard residential fence installations can be completed within one to three days once materials are confirmed. We aim to minimise disruption, keep walkways safe, and communicate any changes early if we uncover hidden issues like old concrete footings or unstable boundaries.
