Many people put off a new fence not because of the price, but out of fear of the hassle. They picture weeks of mess in the yard, dust, tradesmen coming and going, and a job that drags on endlessly. We understand that fear — we’ve all run into a bad contractor at some point. So in this article we show openly how the whole process actually looks, step by step, so you know exactly what to expect and can decide without worry.
The good news is simple: when the job is run by someone who has done it for decades, installing a fence is quick, tidy and predictable. Most of it happens in the workshop, not in your yard. Here’s how it looks from the first call to the finished fence.
Step 1: The call and the site visit
It all starts with a single call or message. We don’t ask you to know in advance what you need — it’s enough to tell us where you are and roughly what you have in mind. We arrange a time that suits you and come out to the site, free and with no obligation whatsoever.
That visit is more important than it seems. A fence can’t be quoted seriously “over the phone”, because every yard has its own story — the length, the slope, the type of base, an existing fence that needs taking down. On the spot we see all of that in person, so the quote that follows is accurate rather than guesswork. This is also the moment when you ask your questions: which type of infill, which height, which colour, what makes sense for your space.
From experience, these fifteen minutes on site save a great deal of later trouble. It’s better to take one good look than to “tweak” a fence afterwards that wasn’t tailored to your space. That’s why we never skip the visit and never charge for it — for us it’s a normal, integral part of the job.
Step 2: Precise measuring and the quote
Once we’ve agreed on the type of fence, precise measuring comes next. We measure the length of each side, the heights, the corners, and pay particular attention to the slope of the terrain — because it’s exactly on a slope that poor fences struggle most. We also note the condition of the base (concrete, soil, an existing wall) and everything that affects the method of anchoring and installation.
On the basis of accurate measurements we prepare a quote — broken down item by item, so you clearly see what you’re paying for. No “round figure” hiding who-knows-what, and no hidden costs that pop up at the end. The quote also includes an estimated production time, so you know where you stand. This step is where a firm’s seriousness shows: an honest, detailed quote means we know exactly what we’re doing and have nothing to hide.
Once you confirm the quote, the measurements go to the workshop and production begins. From that moment you practically have no obligations — the next time we see each other, we arrive with the finished fence.
Step 3: Made-to-measure production in the workshop
This is the part that makes all the difference, and it happens far from your yard. The fence is made to your exact measurements in our workshop — it’s cut, assembled, prepared and powder-coated in the colour you chose. That means we don’t cut or improvise on site, a practice that always shows in the end through crooked lines and poor joints.
Made-to-measure production is why our fences “sit” perfectly. A mass-produced fence trimmed on site almost never stands as it should; a fence made specifically for your dimensions stands as if it were poured in place. In the workshop we have the conditions, tools and quality control that simply don’t exist on site — so that’s where 90% of the job is done, while your yard is still quiet and untouched.
Once the fence is finished and checked, we schedule the installation. Because the main part of the work is already done, the installation in your yard is short and tidy — none of those “weeks of chaos” people dread.
Step 4: Installation, checking and the warranty
On installation day our crew arrives prepared. If there’s an old fence, we take it down and haul it away. We set and anchor the posts where we measured, mount the fence and carefully level everything — because a proper fence has to be both straight and firm, with no wobble. If it’s a gate with a motor, we connect and commission the automation and check the safety elements.
Once everything is in place, we don’t leave until we’ve checked the result: that the fence stands upright, that the joints are neat, that there are no sharp edges and that the gate opens smoothly. We clean up after ourselves — the yard is left tidy, as if we’d simply brought a finished product and set it down. We hand over everything you need (for gates, the remotes and the manual) and explain how to sort out the small things should you ever need to.
Behind it all stands a 20-year factory warranty and our support. For a standard fence the whole process — from the first call to the finished installation — usually takes two to four weeks, mainly because of the production time in the workshop, while the installation itself is a matter of hours to a day or two. We install across Serbia: Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Kragujevac, Subotica, Čačak and other cities.
Why it’s more worry-free than you think
If you’ve made it this far, you probably see the point: the process is designed so that you have as little worry as possible. One call, one visit, a clear quote, production without any effort on your part, and a short, tidy installation. Throughout, you communicate with one person, so you don’t have to explain the same thing five times or chase down who’s doing what.
That’s the difference between a firm that has done this for two decades and a “handyman who also does fences”. With us there’s no disappearing after payment, no dragging things out and no surprises at the end. The fence you imagined arrives within the agreed time and stands as it should — and throughout the whole process you knew exactly what was happening.
If fear of the hassle has been what stopped you from sorting out your fence, I hope it feels easier now. The next step is simple and with no obligation: ☎ call +381 62 384 667 or send an enquiry, so we can book a free visit and start from an exact measurement.
How to spot a poor installation
Now that you know what a good process looks like, it’s useful to know what a poor one looks like too — so you can spot it in time, with any contractor. The first sign is a quote “over the phone”, with no visit and no measuring. If someone gives a final price without seeing the terrain, they’re either guessing or counting on charging the difference later. A serious quote always starts from measurements on the spot.
The second sign is cutting and “tweaking” the fence on site instead of making it to measure in the workshop. This almost always shows through crooked lines, uneven spacing and rough joints. The third is shallow anchoring of the posts — a fence that wobbles or leans after the first strong gale reveals that the “backbone” was done in a hurry. This is exactly where cheap offers save the most, because it doesn’t show on day one.
The fourth sign is unfinished details: sharp edges, posts without protective caps (so water gets into the profile), paint that scratches easily because the preparation wasn’t done properly. And the fifth — a contractor who vanishes as soon as they’re paid, leaving you with no one to call if something comes up. With a serious firm, the warranty isn’t a piece of paper but a promise someone actually stands behind. Once you know these five signs, it’s easy to tell a tradesman who works for the result from one who works “just to get by” — and to make your decision with a clear mind, whoever you choose.
Frequently asked questions
Is the site visit free?
It is, and with no obligation. Without exact measurements there’s no honest quote, so the visit is an integral part of the job for us.
How long does the whole process take, from call to finished fence?
Usually two to four weeks, mainly because of the production time in the workshop. The installation itself takes from a few hours to a day or two, depending on the scale.
Does the installation make a lot of mess in the yard?
No — most of the work is done in the workshop, so the installation is short and tidy. We clean up after ourselves and take away the old fence if there is one.
Why is the fence made to measure rather than bought ready-made?
Because a mass-produced fence trimmed on site rarely “sits” well. Made to your exact measurements, it gives straight lines and firm joints.
What if the terrain is sloped or uneven?
We measure and solve that — we adapt vertical infill to the fall of the ground and choose the anchoring method to suit the base. More on that in the article on fences for sloped terrain.
Do you take down the old fence?
Yes — we take it down and haul it away as part of the job, so you get a clean, finished solution.
Who installs the fence — your crew or subcontractors?
Our crew, working to the measurements from our workshop. That’s how we keep quality control from start to finish.
Do I get a warranty?
Yes — a 20-year factory warranty on the products, with our support after installation too.
Do you install outside Kragujevac?
Yes, across Serbia — Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Subotica, Čačak and other cities. Distance is no obstacle.
How do I book a visit?
Call +381 62 384 667 or send an enquiry through the site. We arrange a time that suits you.
