Security fencing in Cork
Cork has 40,832 active businesses, from Cork city, Carrigaline and Cobh out to the smallest villages. One vetted fencing contractor who covers your county covers the whole county: yards, depots, shops, farms and sites.
2,347 are in industry, 2,245 in transport and storage and 5,199 in wholesale and retail: 9,791 businesses with stock, plant or vehicles to keep in. Palisade suits a yard; mesh suits a frontage.
With 13,704 farms, one of the highest counts in Ireland, a lot of fencing here is farm yards, sheds and machinery stores: palisade or heavy mesh around the yard, with a wide vehicle gate (€1,184–€3,990).
The Garda division covering Cork records 2.6 burglaries a year per 1,000 households, below the national 4.5. Planning is decided by Cork City Council and Cork County Council: around a house, palisade needs permission at any height.

Fencing in Cork: questions
How much does security fencing cost in Cork?
The materials cost the same across Ireland: mesh from €25 a metre, palisade €330 a 2.75 m section, vehicle gates €1,184–€3,990. The fitted price is quoted after a look at your site.
Do I need planning permission for fencing in Cork?
At a house, palisade and security fencing need permission from Cork City Council and Cork County Council. Businesses and farms have their own rules: ask the council or apply for a Section 5 declaration.
Do you cover all of Cork?
Yes. Requests from Cork city, Carrigaline, Cobh, Midleton and Mallow and the rest of Cork go to one vetted contractor who covers the county.
Palisade or mesh?
Palisade is the heavier deterrent for yards, depots and industrial sites. Mesh keeps the site visible to cameras and passers-by and suits schools, offices and frontages. Both are hard to climb.
