Cost Factors

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.

The Process

What to Expect When Hiring

A typical fencing & gates job follows these steps

1

Survey

Measuring boundary lines and assessing ground conditions/access.

2

Clearance

Removing old vegetation or fencing (often an extra cost).

3

Post Setting

Digging holes and concreting posts. Left to set for 24-48h.

4

Fitting

Attaching panels, wire, or gates once posts are solid.

Red Flags

Warning signs to watch for

  • Posts not set deep enough (should be 50-60cm)
  • Using insufficient concrete
  • Not checking levels/plumb
  • Using non-galvanised fixings (will rust)
  • Not accounting for wind load on solid fences

Questions to Ask

Before hiring a fencing & gates

  • How deep will you concrete the posts?
  • Is the metal galvanised/powder coated?
  • Do you include removal of the old fence?
  • What guarantee do you offer on the motor?
  • Do I need a permit for this height?
FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about fencing & gates costs in Spain

Generally, fences up to 2m are allowed, but some urbanization rules (Community of Owners) are stricter. Always check with your President or Administrator first. Solid walls usually need a minor works permit.
'Hercules' panel fencing (welded wire mesh) in green or white. It's durable, secure, rot-proof, and lets wind through. You can add distinct privacy screening if needed.
Common issues: geckoes/ants shorting circuit boards (very common!), misalignment of photocells, or heavy wind resistance. Regular cleaning of sensors helps.
