Fences built to last, and to look good
Privacy, boundary and feature fencing for Waikato homes, built straight, solid and tidy by a local family crew. Quality workmanship, honest pricing, and no mess left behind.
Woodney Contracting is a residential fencing contractor serving Hamilton and the greater Waikato. We design and build timber privacy fences, boundary and feature fences, pool fencing and gates, tailored to your section, style and budget. Every fence is built to last, fully insured, and finished with the site left clean and tidy.
Residential fence styles
Whatever the look you're after, we'll build it straight, solid and to spec.
Timber paling & privacy fences
Classic, cost-effective paling fences that give you privacy and shelter, built with quality treated timber.
Boundary fences
Neat, durable boundary fencing to clearly and attractively define your property line.
Feature & slat fences
Modern horizontal slat and feature fences that lift the look of your home and street frontage.
Pool fencing
Pool fencing and gates. Pool barriers have to meet Building Code rules, so tell us early and we'll plan around them.
Gates & entranceways
Matching timber and custom gates, including wider vehicle and sliding options. See gates and entrances.
Repairs & replacements
Storm-damaged, leaning or rotten fences repaired or replaced, section or full run.
A fence is only as good as its posts
Anyone can knock up a fence. We build them to stand straight and last, with properly set posts, quality timber and clean, consistent lines you'll be happy to look at for years.
- Posts set firm and true for a fence that won't lean
- Quality, appropriately treated timber and fixings
- Straight lines and consistent, tidy finishing
- Site cleared and left clean when we're done

What affects the cost of a fence
There's no single price per metre, so we quote after a free on-site visit. You get a clear quote before any work starts.
Style & material
Timber paling, picket, horizontal slat and feature fences sit at very different price points.
Height & design
Taller fences need more material and often deeper posts. Capping and feature detail add work.
Length & layout
Long straight runs are efficient. Corners, returns and short runs cost more per metre.
Ground & access
Slopes, clay, rock and tree roots slow the posts, and tight access means more hand work.
Gates & hardware
Gates cost more than the panels either side, and automation adds more again.
Removing an old fence
Taking out and disposing of an existing fence is part of the job, so tell us if one needs to come out.

Residential fencing questions
01How much does a residential fence cost in Hamilton?
It depends on the fence type, height, length, materials and ground conditions. A standard timber paling fence is usually more affordable than a feature slat fence. We visit first, then give you a clear quote before work starts. See what affects the cost of a new fence.
02What types of residential fences do you build?
We build timber paling and privacy fences, boundary fences, feature and slat fences, pool fencing, gates and fence repairs. We'll recommend the right option for your budget, site and style, and our guide to which type of fence is best compares them.
03Who pays for a boundary fence?
Under the Fencing Act 1978, neighbours generally share the cost of an adequate boundary fence equally. To require a contribution you usually serve a Fencing Notice, and your neighbour has 21 days to respond. You generally can't claim a contribution for work done before notice unless it was agreed or was an urgent repair after sudden damage. This is general information, not legal advice: see the Act and our guide to who is responsible for a boundary fence.
04Does a pool fence need to meet regulations?
Yes. A residential pool that can hold 400 mm or more of water needs a barrier that meets Building Code clause F9. See Building Performance's pool safety guidance, check the requirements with your council, and tell us early if you need a pool barrier so we can plan around them.
05Do you remove the old fence?
Tell us if an old fence needs to come out so it is included in the quote. Taking one out and disposing of it is part of many fencing jobs.
06Can you build a gate to match my fence?
Yes. We build timber gates to match paling, picket and slat fences. See gates and entrances.
07What should I send for a quote?
The address, a rough sketch or photos of where the fence is going, the length and height you have in mind, the number of gates, and whether an old fence needs to come out.
08How long does it take to build a residential fence?
It depends on the length, the ground and the weather. We'll give you an idea of timing when we quote, and book the work in once you're happy to go ahead.
09What areas do you cover?
We build residential fences throughout the greater Waikato, including Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Morrinsville, Ngāruawāhia, Huntly and surrounding areas.
