Do you offer both supply and installation?

Can I install fencing myself (DIY)?

Yes, we supply everything needed for DIY fencing projects, including treated poles, weldmesh, nails, and other materials. However, for larger or more complex installations, professional installation is often recommended to ensure the fence is secure, level, and long-lasting.

How long does fencing installation take?

Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the project, but most standard residential fencing installations can be completed within a few days. Larger projects such as estates or farms may take longer depending on scope and site conditions.

Do fencing poles need to be concreted into the ground?

Yes, for proper stability and durability, fencing poles are typically installed by concreting them into the ground. This ensures the fence remains secure and can withstand weather conditions over time.
