• Combine fencing and gate in one project to avoid call-out charges and double assembly.
• Request quotes with clear specification of material, assembly and options.

The costs of fencing are never standard, because every site and every wish is unique.
When drawing up a quotation, a fencing specialist always looks at material, dimensions, finish, location and extra options.
The most important price determinants are explained step by step below.

1. Material choice

The material is the biggest cost factor:

• Chain link fence: cheapest solution, functional and open structure.
• Double rod mat: sturdy and low-maintenance, middle class.
• Wood: warm appearance, more maintenance.
• Plastic/composite: maintenance-free and modern, higher purchase.
• Aluminum: luxurious, lightweight, low-maintenance.
• Ornamental fence/wrought iron: custom and exclusive, most expensive option.

2. Length and height of the fence

• Length: more meters = higher total price, but often a lower price per meter due to economies of scale.
• Height: higher fences require more material, stronger posts and more labor.

Example:
20 m double bar mat of 1.2 m high costs on average € 2,200.
At 2.0 m high, this increases to approximately € 3,300.

3. Complexity of the terrain

Accessibility

• Difficult to reach places (narrow back entrance, no parking space nearby) increase labor costs.

Soil condition

• Sandy soil: quick and easy to install.
• Clay/stone/rubble soil: more time and sometimes machines are needed.
• Height differences: require customization (e.g. stairs or angled placement).

4. Gates and accesses

A gate significantly increases costs due to material and extra assembly time:

• Single gate (1 m): from approx. € 550 incl. assembly
• Double gate (driveway): from approx. € 950 incl. assembly
• Automation: extra € 1,800 – € 5,000

5. Finish and appearance

• Powder coating in color: € 20 – € 50 per meter extra
• Galvanizing: protection against rust
• Privacy strips: € 8 – € 15 per meter
• Decorative ornaments: Custom details make the fence more exclusive and expensive

6. Extra options and security

• Camera surveillance, intercom systems or electric fences increase the price.
• Removing old fencing, leveling the terrain and installing concrete footings are often charged separately.

7. Assembly and craftsmanship

• Professional assembly prevents misalignment, wear and tear and extra costs afterwards.
• Assembly costs range between € 10 and € 60 per meter depending on type hekwerk.

8. Season and Planning

• In spring and summer, demand is higher, making prices less flexible.
• In autumn and winter, discounts are often easier to negotiate.

9. Permits and regulations

• A permit may be required for fences higher than 2 meters.
• The costs for applying for an environmental permit and any drawings are also added.

Conclusion

The price is determined by a combination of:

1. Material and finish
2. Length, height and design
3. Extra options (gates, automation, security)
4. Location and mounting conditions

Jeofferte.nl advises:
Always request multiple quotes with a clear specification of material, assembly and extras to avoid surprises.

A fence or gate is an investment.
With a smart approach, you can save considerably on costs without compromising functionality or durability.

1. Always compare multiple quotes

Why:
The price differences between providers can be up to 30% or more.

Practical:

• Preferably request at least 3 quotes.
• Compare on price and specifications (material, assembly, warranties).
• Platforms like jeofferte.nl make this easy.

2. Combine material and assembly in one order

Purchasing material separately and hiring a fitter separately sometimes seems cheaper, but:

• You then pay double transport and logistics costs.
• You miss out on package discounts and a single point of contact.
• Warranty is less clear.

3. Choose standard sizes instead of custom work

Why:
Standard panels and standard gates are often 20% – 50% cheaper than custom work.

Tip:
Only choose custom work if it is really necessary.

4. Do preparatory work yourself

• Remove old fences or fencing yourself.
• Remove shrubs or obstacles.
• Possibly level the terrain in advance.

Savings: up to 10–20% on labor costs.

5. Combine projects with neighbors

Advantage:

• Shared transport and assembly costs.
• More meters in one project means a lower price per meter.

6. Choose the right material for your situation

• For large surfaces: chain link fencing or double rod mats are more economical.
• For privacy: double rod mats with privacy strips are often cheaper than a completely solid fence.
• Maintenance-free: plastic or aluminum are more expensive to purchase, but more economical in the long run.

7. Plan outside the peak season

In winter and late autumn, fencing specialists have more room in their schedule.
During this period, a discount is often more negotiable.

8. Include all wishes at once

• Adding a gate or automation later means double costs for installation and call-out charges.
• Plan everything in one project for maximum efficiency.

9. Request Specified Quotes

Ensure that the following items are listed separately in the quote:

• Material costs
• Installation costs
• Extra options
• Call-out charges

This makes comparison easier and prevents surprises.
