Timber fencing remains a common sight across New Zealand properties. It offers a versatile option for marking boundaries, creating privacy, or softening the transition between outdoor zones. Pine is the most widely used timber, treated for outdoor use to resist decay and insect damage. Macrocarpa and other hardwoods provide extra longevity but can cost more upfront.

You can choose from solid paling fences for full privacy or opt for more open designs like pickets or slatted panels. Each style affects the level of screening, airflow, and visual bulk. Timber fences require routine care, such as staining or painting, to protect against moisture and UV. Without regular maintenance, timber may warp, split, or discolour over time. When selecting timber fencing, weigh up your site’s exposure, the desired style, and how much maintenance you’re willing to take on over the years.
