Residential fencing

Residential fencing in Christchurch

Fences and gates for Christchurch homes, built on site by our own team since 2006.

Classic Timber Fences (CTF) is a small, family-owned, Christchurch-owned business specialising in timber and metal fencing, custom gates, and full fence replacements.

A new boundary fence, a tired old fence replaced, or a street front that finally matches the house. We focus on delivering premium quality and lasting affordability with no unwanted surprises along the way. We are best suited to larger fence projects, new builds, full replacements, and feature street-front fences.

Fences we build for homes

  • Boundary fences

    The fence between you and the neighbours. Timber paling, shiplap or aluminium, built to a level top line and set in concrete.

The neighbours and the council

A boundary fence is usually shared with your neighbour under the Fencing Act 1978, and in Christchurch a fence over 2.5 metres needs a building consent.

Our quotes are written and itemised, so you and your neighbour are looking at the same numbers.
