Popular questions

What types of fencing materials are most suitable for Kapiti's coastal climate?
For coastal areas like Kapiti, we recommend treated timber or composite materials that withstand salt-laden air and moisture. Each offers different benefits: treated pine provides durability at a reasonable cost, garapa hardwood offers natural weather resistance with minimal maintenance and composite materials provide exceptional longevity with virtually no maintenance. Our team will assess your specific location and recommend the most appropriate material for your property’s microclimate.
How long does fence installation typically take?
Most residential fence installations are completed within 2-5 working days, depending on the size, complexity, and site conditions. Factors such as access, ground type, and weather can affect timeframes. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed timeline specific to your project.
Do I need council consent for my new fence?
In most cases, boundary fences under 2 metres in height don’t require specific building consent. However, road-facing fences, properties in special zones, or heritage areas may have additional requirements. Our team stays current with Kapiti Coast District Council regulations and can advise on any permits needed for your specific location.
What maintenance is required for timber fencing?
Maintenance requirements vary depending on the fence material. Timber fences may require staining or painting every few years to protect them from moisture and UV rays.
Regular cleaning and inspections will help prolong the life of your fence, especially in Kapiti’s climate.
Recommended maintenance schedule:
- Annual inspection for signs of rot, warping, or loose boards
- Cleaning with appropriate wood cleaner yearly
- Reapplication of stain or sealant every 2-3 years
- Prompt repair of damaged sections
- Vegetation control to prevent moisture retention
- Checking post stability following severe storms
