What Affects the Price?
Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately for your project
Ground Conditions
Rocky ground requires jackhammering for posts. Soft ground needs concrete foundations.
Slope
Steep terrain requires stepped fencing or custom panels, increasing labour.
Height
Fences over 2m require more materials and often planning permission.
Material
Galvanised or powder-coated steel lasts years. Untreated wood rots quickly in Spain.
