3D panel fence installation in Tallinn

The height is the first decision, and it depends on what the fence is for:

• 1.23 m marks the boundary and keeps small children and pets in, without closing the garden off. Common at the front of private houses.
• 1.53 m is a good all-round height for back gardens and between neighbours.
• 1.73 m is for when you want to keep larger dogs in, or protect a yard, warehouse or construction site.

The height does not have to be the same all the way round. A lower fence at the street and a higher one at the back is a common solution.

A fence is only as straight as its posts. We set every post in concrete deep enough for the ground and the height of the fence, and check them for line and level before the panels go on.

In Harju County the soil varies a lot from plot to plot: sand, clay, stony ground and limestone close to the surface. If a post hits rock or an old foundation, we adjust the method on site and tell you if it affects the price. Concreting an individual post is also available as a separate item, for example when replacing damaged posts in an existing fence.

A pedestrian gate is enough for walking in and bringing in a bicycle or a wheelbarrow. For a car you need a double swing gate, which opens in two halves.

Plan gate positions together with paths and the driveway, and check that the gate can open fully without hitting a slope, kerb or parked car. Gate posts take the most load, so they are set especially firmly. Sliding gates and gate automation are covered on our gates page.

To keep the job running smoothly:

• check the plot boundary, especially if the fence goes along the neighbour's line;
• tell us about underground cables, pipes and drainage along the fence line;
• clear the line of bushes, firewood stacks and other items;
• agree with your neighbour if the fence is shared.

If an old fence needs to come down first, tell us when you ask for a quote and we will plan it into the job.
