Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays for a new boundary fence in South Auckland?
Under the Fencing Act 1978, adjoining owners share the cost of a standard boundary fence equally. The process requires you to serve a fencing notice on your neighbour before starting work. If your neighbour does not respond within 21 days or disputes the proposal, the matter can go to the Disputes Tribunal. A good South Auckland fencer will be familiar with this process.
How long does a timber fence last in South Auckland?
A quality treated timber paling fence in South Auckland typically lasts 15 to 25 years with basic maintenance. Posts set in concrete in South Auckland's clay-heavy soil are vulnerable to moisture at the ground line -- specifying H5 treatment for posts in contact with the ground significantly extends the life of the fence.
