# Fencing, Decking & Retaining

In this section, we'll cover some of the main jobs involved with building fences, retaining walls and decks. In New Zealand, it's common for homeowners to build these outdoor features to improve the look and function of the property.

Fences are a great way to enjoy privacy and keep pets and kids safe. There are a few key stages of building a fence that Hirepool's tools can help with.

Decks - a Kiwi icon really. It's where we like to host the BBQ, read our book or have friends over for a catch-up. Building a deck requires a few important stages you need to be aware of - we'll cover this important info for other fencing and retaining jobs below while recommending the right tool for your job.

Retaining walls not only protect your house from erosion and slips but can make use of garden space and give a nice, organised look to the garden. We provide professional-grade tools for hire that will assist your retaining wall project.
