The best solution is one that forms a coherent system with the gate and the architecture of the building.
4. which fence is best?
In our opinion, the best choice is composite fencing. It combines the aesthetics of natural wood with the durability of technical materials - the does not rust, does not rot, does not need painting. It perfectly tolerates the variable climatic conditions of the Małopolska region: frost, dampness and intense sunshine. For customers looking for a compromise between price and quality, we recommend panel fences - durable, versatile and available in many RAL colours.
5. What fencing protects against wild boar and deer?
To protect the property from wild boar and deer we recommend the following fence panel 153 cm high with 5 mm wire in combination with concrete foundation 30 cm high. Such a kit effectively prevents animals from undermining and jumping over the fence. The cost of a complete set is approx. 150 PLN gross per running metre. The solution is particularly suitable for plots next to forests and suburban areas in the Lesser Poland region.
6. Which fence provides the most privacy?
The greatest privacy is provided by concrete fences i composite and some palisade systems with limited clearance. The choice depends on the desired visual effect and budget.

Yes. We start each implementation with measurement and technical consultation. We check the conditions of the site, the type of soil and the installation possibilities, and then propose the optimal solution and prepare a detailed quotation.
8. how long does it take to install the fence and implement the gate?
The time taken to install a fence depends on the scope of work. A simple panel fence can be installed within several days, whereas more elaborate systems with a foundation and automation require more time. The standard lead time for a gate or wicket is 3 weeks from placing an order. During the spring and summer seasons, we recommend ordering in advance - appointments fill up quickly.
(9) Do you offer gate automation?
Yes. We are installing modern drive systems for sliding gates and swing gates. We take care of the correct connection, configuration and smooth operation of the entire system.
10. does the construction of a fence require a permit?
Without planning permission, a fence can be erected up to a height of 2.2 metres. Higher fences require notification or planning permission - It is worth checking this with your local authority and the local zoning plan. If you have any doubts, we will be happy to advise you.
11. to what depth do you dig the holes for the fence posts?
The fence posts are set at a depth of 1.2 metres. This depth guarantees the stability of the fence all year round - even in waterlogged ground and deep frosts. A shallower setting risks tilting of the pillars after the first winter. This is one of the elements that distinguishes professional editing from amateur.

Yes. All our foundations are reinforced - we make them as reinforced concretewith a steel bar inside the concrete. This ensures that the foundation does not crack under frost, or settle or deform over time. This standard at Krak Fence, regardless of the type of fencing chosen.
