Located on the southern shores of the Hokianga Harbour, Pakanae is widely considered one of the oldest and most culturally significant Māori settlements in New Zealand.
From Pukekohe, Auckland to Pakanae, Opononi never thought I’d have the opportunity to work somewhere else other than where I’m from.
Here we have 20m of post, rail, paling at 1.8 + a nice 190x45 Top cap to finish it off. Two front gates made from scratch, retaining from recycled timber, and gate out back from what was left over.
I was fortunate to stay here during the process of building this fence, as the owners are cousin’s of mine. It is their first home and nothings more daunting than having two dogs + a baby, with their home instituted on a main drag. Not only for safety and security but for SPACE. Giving back plenty to put to use for dogs, parking, and more.
Had alot of people stop by and compliment the fence, hoping to get some work up here too. In saying that nothing’s better than being home here in Auckland.
Thank you to my cousin’s for their beautiful hospitality, wishing them all the best. And big congrats on first home buyers. 🎉
Hoping everyone is having an awesome week so far. Super grateful to be able to take my work somewhere else and travel.
