Christchurch Fencing
Concrete posts resist rot, warping and insects. Pairs with timber, concrete or other infill panels.
Concrete fencing, considered for your property
← All concrete fencing optionsA concrete post fence in Christchurch pairs durable concrete posts with infill panels of your choice, whether that's timber, concrete, or another material, giving property owners the structural strength of concrete without needing the entire fence built from it. Concrete posts resist rot, warping, and insect damage far better than timber posts, which is particularly valuable in Christchurch's exposed, wind-prone areas where timber posts often fail well before the rest of the fence does. This hybrid approach is popular for homeowners wanting the classic look of a timber paling fence but without the recurring cost of replacing rotted posts every decade or so. It's also a practical option for rural boundaries and lifestyle blocks around Christchurch, where post strength matters more than the infill material itself. The result is a fence that lasts significantly longer at the structural level, even if the visible panels eventually need replacing on their own timeline.
Why choose this style
The final specification depends on your site, ground conditions, fence height and chosen system. Structural, retaining, acoustic and security performance must be assessed for the particular design.

Common questions about concrete post fencing in Christchurch, from design and installation through to cost and maintenance.
Explore our servicesPosts are where most fences fail first. Timber rots at ground level and steel corrodes, while concrete posts resist both, along with borer and wind loading. That matters in Christchurch, where damp ground and strong winds work on a fence line year after year. Using concrete posts means the structural part of the fence outlasts the infill, whatever material you choose for the panels or palings.
Cost depends on the number of posts, the spacing and depth required, the infill material you pair them with, and how accessible the fence line is for digging and setting. Ground conditions can also change footing requirements. Any figure given before a site visit is only an estimate, so send your project details through the quote form on this page and we can prepare a more accurate quote.
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Concrete posts carry the structure while timber rails and palings provide the look and warmth many homeowners want, giving you a fence that keeps its line long after an all-timber version would have started leaning. The posts can be specified to suit standard paling heights, and we can detail the fixings so the timber can be replaced later if needed.
Footing depth depends on fence height, wind exposure, the infill material and the ground you are building in. Loose, sandy or wet ground needs more than firm ground, and a taller fence carries more wind load and needs more support. Rather than applying a single rule, we assess the site and set the posts to suit the conditions and the finished height you want.
Properly manufactured and correctly set posts are reinforced and designed for the loads a fence puts on them, so cracking is uncommon. What causes problems is inadequate footings, ground movement or impact damage. Christchurch's shifting ground makes footing design particularly important, which is why we assess conditions before installation rather than using a standard depth on every site.
