The structures that define and improve outdoor spaces
Beyond landscaping and earthmoving, we build and repair the structures that define and improve residential outdoor spaces — fences, decks, gates, and custom metalwork. This is practical construction work carried out to a good standard at a fair price.
New fences and repairs across Dunedin
We construct new fences and repair existing ones for residential properties across Dunedin. New fence work includes timber boundary fences, privacy fencing and garden fences. We work with standard treated timber and can advise on the appropriate fence type for the situation — whether that is a solid privacy fence between neighbours, a post-and-rail boundary along a driveway, or a simple wire fence to keep children or dogs contained.
For shared boundary fences, we are experienced in working through the practical side of the job with neighbouring property owners, including agreeing on fence lines and sharing costs where applicable.
Fence repairs are a large part of what we do. Dunedin's weather — particularly the combination of high rainfall, coastal salt air in some areas, and occasional strong winds — takes a toll on timber fences over time. Common repair work includes replacing rotten posts and palings, straightening leaning fences, re-fixing rails, and re-tensioning wire. In many cases a well-executed repair extends the life of an existing fence significantly, at a fraction of the cost of a full replacement.
Deck repairs and small to medium builds
Timber decks in Dunedin need regular maintenance. The city's damp climate accelerates timber deterioration, and it is common for decks to develop rotten boards, loose fixings, and structural problems within their first decade if they are not maintained. We carry out deck repairs including board replacement, re-fixing loose decking, repairing or replacing substructure components, and applying treatments and stains.
For new builds, we construct small to medium-sized timber decks — outdoor entertaining areas, entrance platforms, and garden-level decks. We are upfront about the scope of our deck work: we handle smaller builds rather than large, complex multi-level structures. For deck projects that involve significant structural engineering or building consent requirements beyond our scope, we will tell you so and suggest you engage a specialist builder.
Where a steel frame or steel components are appropriate for a deck — for example, where ground clearance, moisture, or site access makes timber framing impractical — we can fabricate and weld steel frames in-house rather than subcontracting that part of the job.
Custom fabrication and welding repairs
We provide welding and custom steel fabrication services for residential and rural properties in the Dunedin area. This covers both new fabrication work and repairs.
Custom fabrication includes gates, steel frames, brackets, handrails, garden structures, and other bespoke items built to specific requirements. If you need something made from steel and it does not exist off the shelf — or the off-the-shelf option does not fit your situation — we can design and build it. This extends to items such as custom gate frames, fence post brackets for difficult ground, steel garden edging, and mounting frames for tanks or equipment.
Welding repairs cover broken gates, damaged steel fencing, cracked frames, trailer repairs, and general fix-up work on steel structures around a property. This is often the kind of job that is difficult to get done — too small for a dedicated engineering workshop to be interested in, but requiring proper welding rather than a bodge. We are set up to handle this work efficiently.
