FENCE INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

(For concrete, steel, wood, or combo-type fences)

✅ 1. Planning & Design

•  Determine the purpose of the fence (security, privacy, boundary, aesthetics)

•  Get approval from the Homeowners’ Association (if applicable)

•  Choose fence type:

  •  Concrete / CHB

  •  Steel / Grills

  •  Wooden

  •  Combo (e.g. concrete base + steel top)

  •  Decorative (wrought iron, bamboo, etc.)

•  Select height and layout (typically 1.5–2 meters for residential)

•  Design gate location(s) and access (swing, sliding, pedestrian)

🏗️ 2. Permits & Legal Requirements

•  Barangay clearance or certificate of no objection

•  Building permit (especially for permanent concrete or over 1.8m fences)

•  Consent from adjacent lot owners (if fence is on shared boundary)

•  Check zoning and height regulations (from LGU or subdivision)

🔨 3. Materials & Tools Checklist

•  Cement, sand, gravel (for footings or concrete wall)

•  Steel bars or wire mesh (for reinforcement)

•  Hollow blocks (if using CHB)

•  Posts (steel, concrete, wood)

•  Gate hardware (hinges, locks, rollers if sliding)

•  Power tools, level, string line, tape measure

👷 4. Construction Steps

•  Install fence posts at regular intervals (with plumb and level)

•  Install fencing panels or blocks between posts

•  Weld or screw steel bars/panels if needed

•  Build and install gate frame and track (if sliding)

•  Plaster or render concrete fence (optional)
