Design Considerations
Selecting the right fence for your environment is important.
- Do you need consent
- Before you begin ordering your fence you need to determine if you need building consent or resource consent, your local council will also have rules and regulations that your fence will need to comply with. Its important you understand these requirements before ordering and installing a fence.
- Get Agreement from your neigbour
- It’s important to get written agreement in writing on your metalcraft fence, from your neighbour in writing prior to proceeding and agree on payment. Seek expert advice if in doubt.
- Determine your wind zone
- The wind load on your fence at your site will depend on a number of factors, including where you live, where the fence is to be installed and the number of surrounding properties.
