Fencing in New Zealand ranges from NZ$35 for basic options to NZ$700 for premium options like glass pool fencing or automated gates. Prices include GST (15%). Boundary fences — cost is typically shared 50/50 under the Fencing Act 1978.
For boundary fencing, timber paling and basic chain link offer the lowest upfront cost. However, metal fencing (Colorbond in AU/NZ, vinyl in US/CA) lasts longer with less maintenance, often making it better value over 15–20 years.
In most jurisdictions, boundary fence costs are shared equally between neighbours. Check local fencing legislation for notice requirements and dispute resolution processes before starting work.
