Which fence is best for a private home?

+

The choice depends on the objectives: if privacy is important, corrugated sheets, tightly installed Euro picket fences, or monolithic panels are suitable. If decorative features are a priority, wrought iron or combination fences (brick pillars and metal spans) can be considered. Budget, wind load, and the style of the house are also considered.

Do you need a foundation for a fence?

+

Yes, especially for heavy structures (brick, concrete, and composite fences). For lightweight metal fences, concrete-setting the posts is sufficient. An improperly installed foundation will cause the fence to warp and settle.

Which is better: corrugated sheeting or euro picket fencing?

+

Corrugated sheets completely shield the area from view and are less expensive. Euro-picket fencing is more aesthetically pleasing, allows light through, and is less susceptible to wind loads.

Which gate should you choose – sliding or swing?

+

Sliding gates are more convenient in winter and require less space in front of the driveway. Swing gates are cheaper but require more space to open.

Do I need to get permission to install a fence?

+

In most cases, permits are not required for private properties, but there are regulations regarding the height and transparency of fencing (especially between adjacent properties). It is recommended to check local land use and development regulations.

What is the service life of different types of fences?

+

  • Corrugated sheet metal — 15–30 years
  • Metal picket fencing — 20–30 years
  • Brick fencing — 50+ years
  • Wooden fencing — 10–20 years (with regular maintenance)
  • Concrete panels — 30–50 years

The service life depends on the quality of installation and corrosion protection.

Do metal fences need to be treated against corrosion?

+

Yes. It's best to choose galvanized and painted elements with a polymer coating. It's also important to cover cut and welded areas with protective paint.

What influences the cost of a gate?

+

Size, type of construction, presence of automation, cladding material and the need for a reinforced foundation.
