Install a fence against an existing fence

When you have a fence installed (against or alongside an existing fence) via Zoofy, you typically pay an hourly rate. On average, this rate is between €55 and €59 per hour (incl. VAT), depending on the professional and scheduling.

If you combine that with the average job duration (see question 2), labour alone often totals a few hundred euros. In real life, the final price is usually higher because length, soil conditions, fixing to the existing fence and materials make a big difference. A common total range for installing a fence is about €500 to €2000. 

On average, installing a fence takes 5 hours and 39 minutes, based on 164 jobs. It can be quicker for a short straight run with easy access, or longer for hard soil, corners or extra reinforcement.

As a broader so mentions a typical bandwidth of roughly 4 to 16 hours depending on length, soil type and accessibility.

The professional makes sure the new fence connects neatly to the existing fence and stands solid and straight. The work usually includes:

1) Measuring & planning
Checking the line, height and where the new fence should meet.

2) Preparing the area
Ensuring the ground is workable and removing obstacles such as roots, old posts or rubble when needed.

3) Setting posts / creating a solid connection
Placing new posts at the correct depth and spacing, or creating a strong connection towards the existing fence—depending on the situation.

4) Mounting panels/slats & aligning
Installing the fence sections level and straight for a clean, tight connection to the existing fence.

5) Finishing & handover
Final checks, tightening fixings, neat finishing details and leaving the workspace tidy.
