Wellington's hilly terrain often presents unique challenges for property boundaries. Recently, the Reno Fresh team completed a specialised 20-metre fencing project on Silverstream Road in Crofton Downs. The property required a durable, secure, and visually appealing solution that could seamlessly follow a significant slope alongside a narrow concrete path. As experienced fence builders in Wellington, we knew that standard stepped fencing wouldn't provide the clean, continuous look the homeowner desired. Our solution was a custom-fitted black aluminium raking fence.
The Challenge: Fencing a Sloped Section
Installing a fence on uneven or sloped ground is one of the most common challenges for fencing contractors in Wellington. The traditional approach is to use "stepped" panels, where each panel is level, dropping down like a staircase. For this Crofton Downs property, the fence needed to run parallel to a sloped concrete path while maintaining a consistent height and a clean, modern aesthetic.
The Solution: Aluminium Raking Fence Panels
To achieve a perfect finish, we installed 20 metres of premium aluminium raking fence panels.
Raking panels are purpose-built fencing systems where the vertical pickets pivot within the top and bottom rails. This design allows the entire panel to adjust and angle on-site to match the exact gradient of the land.
Key Features of this Installation:
• Seamless Gradient Matching: The raking panels perfectly followed the slope of the Silverstream Road property, delivering a continuous, flowing fence line that tracks the contour of the land.
• Durable Aluminium Construction: Wellington's coastal and windy climate demands robust materials. Aluminium is rust-proof, incredibly strong, and requires virtually no maintenance compared to traditional timber.
• Matt Black Powder Coating: The sleek black finish provides a modern, premium look that contrasts beautifully against the surrounding green foliage and timber retaining walls.
• Secure Base-Plated Posts: Due to the narrow concrete pathway, we utilised heavy-duty base-plated aluminium posts, securely bolted directly into the concrete for maximum stability without narrowing the walkway.
Why Choose Aluminium Fencing in Wellington?
When looking for a fencing company in Wellington, many homeowners are shifting away from timber and towards aluminium. Aluminium fencing offers superior longevity in our harsh climate. It won't warp, twist, or rot when exposed to heavy rain, and it never needs to be repainted or stained. Whether you need a boundary fence, a pool fence, or a balustrade for a retaining wall, aluminium raking panels provide the ultimate combination of security, compliance, and aesthetic appeal.
