Fence materials

Your fencing is available in different materials. Do you know which material you want for your fencing but are curious about the pros and cons? Then check out a handy overview of the different materials below.

Gauze fencing

Gauze fencing is simple but functional. You can use this type of fencing for various purposes, for example, as a base for a fence with ivy or as demarcation.

Bar fencing

Bar fencing is the sturdiest fencing available. There are 2 types of bar fencing: modern and classic. Modern bar fences are mainly used in business parks and classic bar fences are often used as ornamental fencing for private individuals.

Ornamental

Are you looking for beautiful fencing with a focus on appearance? Then an ornamental fence is perfect for you. You decide the style of an ornamental fence, along with the colour. So you have an ornamental fence that suits your home and garden. You often see ornamental fencing in gardens, which is very popular. Then a double bar fence is an ideal choice. This fencing is more attractive than the average mesh or bar fence but just as sturdy. Double-rod mesh fencing is suitable for both business and private use.

Balustrade

It may not be the first thing you think of when you think of fencing, but your balustrade is also a fence. A balustrade makes your stairwell and landing safer. There are many different options for a balustrade, allowing you to buy a balustrade that perfectly matches your interior.

Fencing installation

When you have chosen a type of fencing and the fencing material, the specialist will get to work installing your fencing. How long your fencing installation takes depends on the type of fencing you choose and its length. For medium-length ornamental fencing, installation takes 2 days. The fencing specialist will be happy to tell you more about installing the fence of your choice.

Gates

Do you want to close your fence? A gate increases your sense of security by easily locking it. Gates are available in different materials and sizes. There is also a choice between a manual gate and an electric gate. A fencing specialist will gladly tell you more about your yard and fencing options.

Fencing permit

Do you actually need a permit for your fencing? In principle, no. However, you must meet a number of requirements:

• At the front of your property, the maximum height of your fencing is 1 metre.
• Between two houses, the maximum height of your fencing is 2 metres.
• Do you want to erect a fence on the property boundary of your property and that of your neighbours? If so, make good arrangements about the property boundary in advance. Put these agreements in writing so that you can always fall back on them. Want to know for sure whether or not you need a permit? Contact the municipality or ask the specialist.
