Fencing in Waterford: questions
How much does security fencing cost in Waterford?
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 Waterford?
At a house, palisade and security fencing need permission from Waterford City and County Council. Businesses and farms have their own rules: ask the council or apply for a Section 5 declaration.
Do you cover all of Waterford?
Yes. Requests from Waterford city, Tramore, Dungarvan, Portlaw and Dunmore East and the rest of Waterford 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.
