The full range

Every fence, sorted.

From a small repair to a full new boundary fence, TradieNotes keeps up with the range of jobs NZ fencing contractors actually run.

📏Height & consent rules

Front yard fences are typically limited to 1.2-1.5m under most district plans, while side and back boundary fences can generally go up to 2.5m without needing a building consent, though the Fencing Act 1978 still applies to cost-sharing. Note the height and location in your job notes.

🏊Pool fencing compliance

Pool barrier fencing has its own compliance requirements under the Building Act, separate from a standard boundary fence. Note it as a pool fencing job and it's captured as its own distinct job type.

🤝Shared boundary costs

Under the Fencing Act, neighbours generally split an adequate boundary fence's cost equally unless they agree otherwise. Note the full job cost — the formal notice process for splitting cost is between the neighbours themselves.

Fencing Contractor FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does it know about fence height rules for front yards?+
TradieNotes doesn't check council rules for you, but front yard fences are typically limited to 1.2-1.5m under most district plans, while side and back boundary fences can generally go up to 2.5m without a building consent. Note the height and location in your job notes for your own records.
Can it split cost between neighbours on a shared boundary fence?+
Under the Fencing Act 1978, neighbours generally split the cost of an adequate boundary fence equally unless they agree otherwise. Note the full job cost — the formal cost-sharing notice process is between the neighbours themselves.
Does it separate materials from labour?+
Yes. Timber, aluminium panels, posts, concrete, and gates are read as materials lines separate from your installation labour when you describe them separately.
Can it price by the metre?+
Yes. Most residential fencing is quoted per linear metre — note the length and rate and it's itemised that way, alongside any gate or feature panel as its own line.
Does it handle pool fencing compliance jobs?+
Yes. Note it as a pool fencing job and it's captured as its own job type — pool barriers have their own compliance requirements under the Building Act, separate from standard boundary fencing.
What does a typical residential fence cost?+
Pricing varies by fence type, height, and materials, and is usually quoted per metre — your invoice reflects whatever you actually charged for that job.
Can I invoice for a repair or replacement panel job?+
Yes. Note it as a repair or panel replacement rather than a full new fence and it's captured as its own smaller job type.
Are the invoices GST and IRD compliant?+
Yes — every invoice includes your GST number, business name, itemised labour and materials, and meets NZ IRD requirements.
Do I need an account?+
No account needed. Create one free to save your invoice history, or just snap and pay $1.
