Fencing in Laois: questions

How much does security fencing cost in Laois?

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 Laois?

At a house, palisade and security fencing need permission from Laois County Council. Businesses and farms have their own rules: ask the council or apply for a Section 5 declaration.

Do you cover all of Laois?

Yes. Requests from Portlaoise, Portarlington, Mountmellick, Mountrath and Abbeyleix and the rest of Laois 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.
