Standard Boundary Paling Fence:

A classic choice for both residential and commercial properties, paling fences offer privacy and security while maintaining a clean and timeless aesthetic. Constructed from wooden boards (palings) attached to vertical posts, paling fences are versatile, cost-effective, and can be customised to suit various heights and styles.

Advantages:

  • Privacy: Provides a solid barrier to keep your property secluded from prying eyes.

  • Affordability: Budget-friendly option without compromising on quality.

  • Customisation: Easily adaptable to different heights and styles to match your preferences.

Available upgrade: Paling fence with capping and/or dressed timber.

 

All fence rails nailed and bugled, and posts positioned in concrete. Rails are run over with block plane and palings cut with rail saw which takes longer but gives a way better finish.

Paling Fence With Capping:

Elevate your boundary line with our premium capped finish. Adding a custom top-cap gives your fence a clean, architectural look while acting as a vital weather shield, preventing rain from soaking into the timber’s end-grain.

We ensure every premium fence is built to the highest structural standards. This means using heavy-duty fastening techniques to prevent rail sag, treating in-ground posts to maximise rot resistance, and taking the extra time to ensure every cut is perfectly straight and clean. The result is a flawless, high-end finish designed to outlast the New Zealand elements.
 

The Premium Finish Standard:

  • Maximum Lifespan: All in-ground posts are treated and set to resist ground moisture and rot.

  • Reinforced Strength: Heavy-duty fastening ensures your framework won't warp or sag over time.

  • Craftsman Quality: Every paling and rail is precision-cut for a perfectly straight, clean alignment.
