Jim's Fencing is a New Zealand fencing supply and installation company, and part of the wider Jim's Group franchise network. Set up over twenty years ago, Jim's Fencing became the leading fencing organisation in Australia before expanding its local presence into New Zealand, with franchisees now servicing Auckland, Hamilton, Waikato and Christchurch.
Jim's Fencing supplies and installs New Zealand's most popular fence options, from traditional timber fencing to modern alternatives like modular walls and Hardifence — a post-less, highly durable fencing option that doesn't require concrete footings and works on sloped or sandy sections. Beyond fence installation, the company's services cover fence and gate repairs, pool safety inspections, boundary fencing, noise reduction fencing, gate installation, feature fence installation, housing estate fencing, insurance fencing, and pool fence installation.
As part of Jim's Group — founded by Jim Penman in 1982 with just $24 of capital, starting as Jim's Mowing before growing into a franchise network with more than 5,700 franchisees across 40+ industries — Jim's Fencing franchisees undergo police checks and hold full public liability insurance, with a policy that the person who quotes the job is the one who does it. Jim's Fencing has also featured on TV programmes including Burke's Backyard, DIY Rescue, and Domestic Blitz.
Jim's Fencing brings more than two decades of fencing expertise to New Zealand, having first established itself as the leading fencing organisation in Australia before expanding its franchise network across the Auckland, Hamilton, Waikato and Christchurch regions.
Jim's Fencing operates under the umbrella of Jim's Group, a franchise network with a distinctly humble origin story. In 1982, Jim Penman launched Jim's Mowing with just $24 of capital, starting as a part-time business before growing into one of New Zealand and Australia's most recognisable franchise brands. After shifting to a franchise model in 1989, Jim's Group expanded to more than 50 divisions spanning industries from home and garden care to bookkeeping and insurance, with franchisees now operating across New Zealand, Canada and the United Kingdom, and more than 5,700 franchisees globally across 40+ industries.
Jim's Fencing supplies and installs New Zealand's most popular fencing options, from classic timber fencing to traditional fencing styles and modular walls designed to replicate the look of a rendered masonry brick wall. For properties with tricky ground conditions, Jim's Fencing also offers Hardifence — a post-less fencing option that doesn't require concrete footings, making it suitable for sloped sections or sandy soil where standard fencing methods can struggle.
Jim's Fencing's services extend well past putting up a new fence. The team handles fence and gate repairs, pool safety inspections, boundary fencing, noise reduction fencing, gate installation, feature fence installation, housing estate fencing, and insurance fencing work — covering everything from a straightforward repair to more specialised compliance and insurance-related jobs.
A key part of Jim's Fencing's pitch is trust in who shows up to do the work. Franchisees and their teams undergo extensive hands-on training and hold the highest standards within the Jim's Fencing family, with every franchisee subject to a police check and carrying full public liability insurance. The company also operates on a simple principle: the person who quotes the job is the one who does it, rather than passing work on to a subcontractor.
Each Jim's Fencing franchisee is a small business owner in their own right, positioned as a local expert who understands the specific needs of their region. At the same time, franchisees are backed by the resources of the wider Jim's Group, giving local teams access to national-level support while still delivering community-based, personal service.
Over the years, Jim's Fencing has built a reputation strong enough to attract television attention, appearing on programmes including Burke's Backyard, DIY Rescue, and Domestic Blitz — exposure that has helped cement Jim's as a household name in the fencing space.
Jim's Fencing offers free quotes for fencing projects, and every quote request also enters customers into a weekly $500 Jim's services voucher draw, held every Thursday. Enquiries can be made by phone or email, with the Jim's Group Customer Centre available Monday to Friday from 7am to 8pm, and weekends from 9am to 5pm (NZST).
Jim's Fencing currently services Auckland, Hamilton, Waikato and Christchurch, with franchisees ready to assist with fencing needs across those regions. For property owners looking for a fencing provider backed by a long-established, nationally recognised franchise group — with vetted franchisees, a range of fencing styles, and services from installation to repairs and pool compliance — Jim's Fencing positions itself as a trusted, professional option throughout New Zealand.
