A secure, premium boundary fence provides critical security, wind shelter, and structural definition for your property. Given Cork’s exposure to strong Atlantic winds and consistent moisture, standard retail panels can rapidly rot, warp, or blow down. We install heavy-duty pressure-treated timber panels designed for strength and longevity.
We work with vertical closeboard panels, modern horizontal slatted screens, and traditional post and rail fencing. All our timber features are pressure-treated with professional anti-fungal preservatives. This provides long-term protection against rot, mold, and wood-boring insects in damp Irish weather profiles.
To construct a fence that stands strong against storm-force winds, we recommend concrete H-posts and concrete gravel boards. Concrete posts are set deep into the ground with steel-reinforced concrete mix, ensuring they never rot or snap like timber posts. H-panels slide perfectly into the concrete grooves for maximum wind load resistance.
Concrete gravel boards are placed under the timber panels. This keeps the wood from touching the wet grass or damp ground, preventing bottom-up rot and adding years to the lifespan of your fencing panels.
Post holes dug 2-3 feet deep, set with premium concrete to withstand strong winter wind loads.
Pressure-treated spruce and larch timbers that resist rot, dampness, and insect infestation.
Seamless closeboard and overlapping panels that block visibility and secure your garden perimeter.
We clear the boundary line, removing old rotten fencing panels, overgrown hedges, and root debris.
Digging deep post holes spaced precisely. We align concrete or timber posts and set them with fast-cast concrete.
We slide H-panels into the post channels on top of concrete gravel boards, ensuring level panels across slopes.
Fitting post caps and weather-protection capping rails onto the timber panels to seal them from rain.
With our concrete gravel boards (which keep the timber off the wet soil) and professional-grade pressure treatment, your panels can easily last 15 to 20 years. We recommend treating the wood every 3-4 years to extend its lifespan.
Yes, especially for exposed areas in Cork. Timber posts eventually rot at the soil line and can snap in high winds. Concrete H-posts are steel-reinforced, immune to rot, and allow panels to be slid out easily if they ever need replacing.
If the fence sits directly on the boundary line, it is shared property, and you should discuss replacement plans with your neighbor. If the fence lies entirely on your side of the boundary, you can replace it without formal permission.
We install standard panels ranging from 3 feet (front gardens/borders) to 6 feet (standard privacy fences). Fences above 2 meters (approx. 6.5 feet) may require local planning permission in Ireland.
