About Ruvuhe

This comprehensive garden enclosure project involved installing a complete perimeter fence around a large residential property in Richmond. We used pressure-treated pine boards measuring 150mm wide and 19mm thick, mounted on 100mm concrete posts set at 2.4-metre intervals.

The installation included two pedestrian gates with heavy-duty hinges and drop bolts. Special attention was paid to the corner sections, where we installed additional bracing to handle the structural loads. The client requested a natural wood finish, so we applied a clear wood preservative that maintains the timber's appearance while providing protection against rot and insect damage.

Ground preparation involved removing the existing deteriorated fence and ensuring proper drainage along the fence line to prevent water accumulation at the post bases. All posts were set 600mm deep in concrete for stability.

These bespoke driveway gates were designed to complement the Victorian architecture of the property while providing modern convenience through automated operation. The gates were fabricated from 25mm square section wrought iron with decorative scrollwork matching the property's original railings.

We installed an underground automation system with safety sensors and remote control access. The gate posts are 150mm steel hollow sections, set 900mm deep in reinforced concrete foundations. All metalwork received hot-dip galvanization followed by powder coating in satin black.

The project required coordination with the local council due to the property's location in a conservation area. We ensured all work met planning requirements while delivering a high-quality installation that enhances both security and kerb appeal.

The client requested a durable, maintenance-free solution for their garden boundary. We installed a composite panel system that combines recycled wood fibres with polymer resins, offering the appearance of timber without the upkeep requirements.

Each panel measures 1.8 metres high and 1.83 metres wide, mounted in aluminium posts with concealed fixings for a clean finish. The charcoal grey colour was selected to coordinate with the property's external colour scheme. The composite material carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty against fading, staining, and structural degradation.

Installation was completed efficiently over three days, with minimal noise and disruption. We worked closely with the neighbours to ensure access requirements were met and that the fence line respected all boundary agreements. The posts were set in concrete with proper spacing to accommodate thermal expansion of the composite panels.

This project involved restoring the front garden boundary of a Grade II listed property with a traditional picket fence that respects the building's heritage. We used sustainably sourced cedar wood, known for its natural resistance to decay and dimensional stability.

The pickets were cut to 1.2 metres height with pointed tops, spaced 50mm apart, and mounted on three horizontal rails. All timber received primer and two coats of exterior-grade white paint before installation. The fence posts are 75mm square cedar, set 450mm deep in concrete.

We worked with the conservation officer to ensure the design matched historical photographs of the original fence. The installation maintains the property's period character while providing a clearly defined boundary that complies with current planning regulations for listed buildings.

This commercial property required enhanced security for their vehicle entrance. We designed and installed a heavy-duty sliding gate system using 50mm box section steel with vertical infill bars at 100mm centres, topped with anti-climb spikes.

The gate runs on a ground track with cantilever support, powered by an industrial-grade motor rated for 500 cycles per day. We integrated an access control system with keypad entry, proximity cards, and remote operation. A separate pedestrian gate provides convenient access without operating the main gate.

All steelwork received hot-dip galvanization for maximum corrosion protection, essential for the 15-year expected service life. The installation included safety features such as obstacle detection sensors and emergency manual override. We provided comprehensive training to site staff on operation and basic maintenance procedures.

The client needed complete privacy screening for their rear garden, which backs onto a public footpath. We installed a solid board fence using feather-edge boards that overlap to create a gap-free barrier. The fence stands 1.8 metres high, the maximum permitted height for garden boundaries.

Gravel boards were fitted at ground level to protect the main fence boards from soil contact and moisture damage. The fence is supported by 100mm concrete posts at 2.7-metre intervals, with additional posts at gate locations. Three access gates were incorporated: one wide gate for garden equipment and two standard pedestrian gates.

All timber was treated with a premium wood preservative in golden brown, which enhances the natural grain while providing protection against fungal decay and insect attack. The treatment carries a 15-year guarantee. We completed the installation working section by section to maintain site security throughout the project.
