Fencing Dublin — Timber, Concrete and Metal Fencing Installation

Fencing provides privacy, security and shelter, and the right choice depends on what matters most to you. Timber fencing — close-board, panel and post-and-rail — is the traditional, cost-effective choice and suits most gardens. Concrete posts and gravel boards extend the life of any timber fence by keeping the timber off the ground. Metal and railing fencing offers security and a more formal look for front boundaries.

We'll advise on the option that best suits your boundary, budget and how much maintenance you want to take on.

A fence is only as strong as its posts. Irish weather — wind and persistent damp — is hard on poorly installed fencing, so we set posts in concrete to the correct depth, use concrete posts or gravel boards to protect timber from ground moisture, and space posts to suit the exposure of the site. On windy and coastal boundaries we specify accordingly, because an under-built fence simply blows down in the first storm.

Timber fencing benefits from periodic treatment with a quality preserver to resist rot and keep its colour — concrete-post systems reduce this upkeep considerably by keeping the vulnerable base of the timber off the wet ground. Metal fencing needs little beyond an occasional check of fixings. We'll explain the maintenance each option needs so you can choose with the long term in mind, not just the install-day appearance.
