THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING YOUR FENCE

Purpose

Consider your goals for the fence—whether it's for aesthetics, containing pets or livestock, defining boundaries, meeting security needs, or creating privacy. Clarifying your objectives will help us deliver a result you'll be satisfied with for many years to come.

Style and Design

Choose a fence style that complements your home's architecture and landscape. Our Interlock post and rail fencing is ideal for showcasing views and landscaping, adding elegance to traditional designs without creating a solid barrier.

Height and Regulations

Check local regulations on fence height and setbacks or covenant requirements for your section. Our Interlock Post and Rail fencing comes in heights from 0.6m to 1.2m, with custom options available. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Cost and Value

Weigh upfront costs against long-term value. Investing in quality materials now can save money over time by reducing maintenance and replacement/reinstallation costs.

Material

Select materials based on your needs, budget, and maintenance preferences. Options include wood, vinyl, metal, and composite. Our Interlock fences are made from 100% sustainably grown Radiata Pine, offering natural aesthetics, low maintenance, and great durability.

INTERLOCK FENCING FEATURES

Our Interlock® post and rail system is the fence we’ve spent 20+ years perfecting — serving from Waikato and all throughout NZ, it shows!

Rails slot straight into pre-routered posts. No nails, no screws, no worries. The result is a cleaner finish, a stronger structure, and a fence that still looks sharp a decade after installation.

Every post and rail is milled from higher-grade NZ pine than you’ll typically find in fencing — you can see the difference immediately. We machine all timber before treatment, so every surface is fully encapsulated and protected against rot, borer, and decay for the long term.

And with our 3-stage quality control process and 15-year structural guarantee, you’re not just buying a fence. You’re buying peace of mind.

POST SIZE OPTIONS
Our posts come in nearly any size and length you could desire. All posts feature a rough sawn finish with a 20mm chamfer top detail (a flat top is also available). The posts are fully machined before the H4 treatment to ensure complete encapsulation, protecting them from the elements.

RAIL SIZE OPTIONS

All our rails are manufactured from higher-grade timber than what is typically used in fencing, setting us apart from the competition, you can visually see the difference. We recommend using rail lengths no longer than two meters to minimize issues with twisting, bending, or warping, and to achieve a nicely proportioned look, avoiding a stretched-out appearance.
