Fencing your plot: which fence to choose and 2026 prices
The fence is the first thing visitors see — and a structure that must last decades in all weather. We recommend choosing by purpose: privacy, security, design, or simply marking the boundary?
Options and prices at a glance
| Fence type | Price per running metre | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh with posts | from ~CZK 800 | 15–25 years |
| 3D welded panels | from ~CZK 1,500 | 30+ years |
| Timber on steel posts | from ~CZK 2,000 | 15–20 years (with care) |
| Gabions (stone baskets) | from ~CZK 4,000 | 50+ years |
| Masonry with infill (metal/wood) | from ~CZK 6,000 | 50+ years |
Prices include material, post concreting and installation, excl. VAT. A gate and sliding entrance gate are extra items (gate from ~CZK 25k, motorised from 45k).
What to sort out before building
- Plot boundary: a boundary fence is best built by agreement with the neighbour; a surveyor helps when in doubt.
- Notification: ordinary fences up to 2 m usually need no permit, but on the street line the municipal plan decides — we'll check for you.
- Base wall: on sloped plots expect a base wall or retaining function — it changes the price fundamentally.
- Services along the route: power for the gate and doorbell is cheapest laid together with the fence build.
Our recommendations by situation
- Garden/back of house: 3D panels — the best mix of price, looks and zero maintenance.
- Street side: masonry or gabions with timber/metal infill — prestigious and durable.
- Slopes and rugged terrain: gabions double as retaining walls.
We usually build fencing and paved areas as the final stage of new builds — in the house calculator it's the "Fencing & paved areas" item. But we also deliver standalone fences with gates, turnkey.
