Wellington Boundary Fencing
A well-built boundary fence marks where your property begins, keeps things secure, and prevents disputes before they start. We build durable, tidy boundary fencing for homes, lifestyle blocks, and shared property lines across the region.
Boundary Fencing Services in Wellington
Unclear property lines and aging shared fences are a common source of friction between neighbours — nobody wants an awkward conversation about who owns what and who pays for repairs. A clean, properly placed boundary fence takes that uncertainty away. Our boundary fencing Wellington service gives you a clear, durable line that defines your property, keeps pets and children secure, and stands up to the weather for years to come.
We build in timber, PVC, metal, and post-and-wire depending on your section and budget, and we're happy to explain how shared-fence costs usually work under the Fencing Act. Our experienced contractors set posts to the right depth, keep runs straight over uneven ground, and finish the job neatly so the result works for you and sits well with the neighbours.

Boundary Confirmation
We help you confirm where the boundary lies before work starts, using existing surveys, pegs and neighbour discussions, so your new fence is positioned correctly and you avoid disputes, rework and unnecessary costs later. This avoids arguments and rework later.
Fencing Act Guidance
We explain how the Fencing Act 1978 works for shared boundaries, including notices and cost sharing, so you understand your responsibilities and can talk with your neighbours with confidence before building begins. That knowledge helps you start the conversation calmly.
Neighbour-Friendly Process
Good boundary fences start with good communication, so we recommend notifying neighbours early, agreeing on style and height where possible and keeping access arrangements clear, helping the project go smoothly for everyone involved. Good communication keeps your neighbour relationships friendly.
Correct Height and Style
We advise on common height limits, privacy options and appearance so your boundary fence suits both properties, remains compliant and balances sunlight, views and security without causing problems with neighbours or council. That balance helps your fence suit both properties.
Strong, Straight Construction
Accurate string lines, properly set posts and well-fixed rails keep your boundary fence straight and solid, helping it handle Wellington wind and slopes while looking neat from both sides for years. Care throughout keeps your whole fence straight and solid.
Clean Finish and Removal
We remove old fencing where required, tidy the fence line and leave your boundary clear and presentable, so you can move straight on to landscaping, planting or enjoying your outdoor space. You can start landscaping or enjoying the space immediately.

Boundary Fencing FAQs
Under the Fencing Act, the cost of an adequate boundary fence is generally shared equally between neighbours. The process usually starts with a written notice outlining the proposed work. We're happy to explain how it typically works and provide a clear quote you can share.
Your property title and survey pegs mark the legal boundary. If pegs are missing or there's doubt, a licensed surveyor can confirm the line. We build to the agreed boundary and can point you in the right direction if a survey is needed.
Most councils allow boundary fences up to around 2 metres without consent. Fences facing the road often have lower limits for visibility. We check the local rules for your property and keep the design compliant.
It depends on your section. Metal and PVC need the least upkeep, well-treated timber offers a great balance of looks and longevity, and post-and-wire suits rural lines. We'll match the material to your conditions and budget.
